Warren Buffett crossed the threshold into billionaire status in 1985, at the age 54. At the time, there were only 12 other billionaires on the planet (in 2025 there are nearly 2,800). Buffett, now worth about $150 billion, made his fortune on his own. He got to work building wealth<\/a> as a kid and hasn\u2019t taken a pause since. At 95 years old, Buffett is still the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buffett has been dubbed the Oracle of Omaha because he has an often-uncanny insight into what the stock market is going to do. Nobody really understands it, and Buffett never brags about it, but one thing he does do is share his wisdom for building wealth. And he doesn\u2019t use fancy money jargon that can exclude the average investor. He tells it like it is, for better or worse. Let\u2019s consider four of Buffett\u2019s top tips for getting richer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Investing can be intimidating<\/a> when you\u2019re just starting out. Honestly, it can be intimidating when you\u2019ve been doing it for years, too! You may feel this enormous pressure to be \u201csmart\u201d in a way you may not even be able to comprehend. You know, Buffett-level-smart. But don\u2019t bother fretting over any of that. Be more concerned with your attitude and outlook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect,\u201d Buffett said. \u201cYou need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other, more clich\u00e9 words, keep calm, carry on and don\u2019t get caught in the doomed loop of obsessing over what other people are doing.<\/p>\n

You can make investing simple and still make a ton of money off it. Just embrace dollar-cost averaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like spending six to eight hours per week working on investments, do it,\u201d Buffett said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t, then dollar-cost average into index funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this practice you don\u2019t buy individual stocks \u2014 which is a risky move, even if you do spend six to eight hours per week working on investments. Instead, you invest in the S&P 500, an index that tracks the performance of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. Buffett has said that owning the S&P 500 is the \u201cbest thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Buffett nugget of wisdom: \u201cIt\u2019s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.\u201d<\/p>\n

What he\u2019s saying is, if you\u2019re buying company shares, invest in high-quality companies with strong leadership and incredible potential \u2014 but only if you can nab the shares for a reasonable price. Don\u2019t overpay just to get in. Be on the lookout for companies that aren\u2019t all that impressive but are selling for top dollar.<\/p>\n

Buffett has come to be a kind of mascot for long-haul investing strategies<\/a>. He doesn\u2019t believe in courting an investment for a short period of time and then cashing out. He believes in sticking with investments through thick and thin, so that you can reap the enrichening benefits of compound interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime is your friend; impulse is your enemy,\u201d Buffett once said. \u201cTake advantage of compound interest and don\u2019t be captivated by the siren song of the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practicing patience and endurance is the core of Buffett\u2019s wealth-building philosophy. It\u2019s so very simple and yet, for so many, so very hard to do: Sit back, relax and let time do its thing.<\/p>\n
