Among the world’s richest people, Warren Buffett is among the rare few whose personal fortunes have grown this year after President Donald Trump’s tariffs triggered a selloff that erased trillions of dollars of value from global equities.

Buffett’s net worth has climbed $11.5 billion this year to $153.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That’s despite a $14.5 billion decline since April 2, when the Omaha, Nebraska-based investor’s net worth reached its highest level in five years.
