What if you'd simply bought gold when he started his fund, instead of investing it with him?
probably a lot less returns.
If you run some "DCA" monthly etc, then I could see it work. But point to point, no way.

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

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