Warren Buffet America's second richest man, legendary value (and brand name) investor, and owner of Berkshire Hathaway (the highest priced stock due to not splitting). Berkshire Hathaway stock has gone from $17.50 at the end of 1966 to $62,700 on August 4, 2000, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 index. Buffet hasn't performed as well lately (losing 19.9% in 1999) because he doesn't invest in high-tech stocks which he says he doesn't understand.
