Gold was about 30 dollars per ounce in the 1960s and its over 3000 an ounce now.
Gold did a 100x
Maybe Warren did better but many people also overestimate how much they gained versus how much they didn't lose to inflation (rise in price of gold being a proxy for inflation)
Point is that the sick returns are more a symptom of broken monetary system than investing genius
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 over the past several decades. Since 1965, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has returned 5,502,284%, compared to the S&P 500's total return of 39,054%, including dividends. This translates to a compounded annual gain of 19.9%, nearly double the S&P 500's 10.4% annual return

I have no clue, look up the cumulative returns. But 20-25% a year for 40+ years probably beats that
