“ While the price of Berkshire A shares, the source of almost all his net worth, increased almost 10% over the past year, Buffett donated stock then worth $6.0 billion this summer to the Gates Foundation and several family foundations.

Last fall, his Thanksgiving gifts to the family foundations totaled $1.1 billion.

If Buffett had held onto all the shares he's given away since 2006, he would now be worth approximately $350 billion.

That would put him in the #2 slot behind Elon Musk's $428 billion on the annual list, which uses stock values as of September 9.

The next day, Oracle shares soared on a strong earnings report, adding around $100 billion to Larry Ellison's net worth. Tesla shares have also moved higher since then.

As a result, Buffett would be nearly tied with Ellison's $352 billion in our hypothetical real-time ranking, with Musk still well ahead at $463 billion.“ https://link.cnbc.com/public/41548503
