Million Dollar Bodyguards: The Sky-High Cost of Protecting the World's Elite

Posted by Bill Rippel on December 30, 2021 - 1:00am

97. Warren Buffett

Star’s Net Worth: $84.6 billion*
Annual Protection Cost: $300,000-$400,000*

Another super-wealthy billionaire who relies on security personnel is Warren Buffett. The Berkshire Hathaway founder has a net worth in the tens of billions, thanks to his uncanny investment ability, which has garnered him the nickname of “The Oracle of Omaha.” Buffett’s wealth and opinions make him a potential target, so it makes sense that he has security.

Reportedly, the billionaire’s security costs were $370,244 in 2016 and $364,011 in 2015. As the years have gone on, security costs have put a dent in the Berkshire Hathaway budget, continuing to reach between $300,000 and $400,000 most years for home and travel security.

Charles Phillips It is a given that a person as wealthy as Warren Buffett would spend a lot for security.
