World's 4th richest man's firm has an $86 billion cash pile
American investor and world's fourth richest person Warren Buffett's firm Berkshire Hathaway had $86.4 billion in cash, earning barely anything, by the end of December. This could balloon to $100 billion by mid-year as profits roll in from its dozens of subsidiaries, analysts have said. Notably, this has raised speculation among investors of an upcoming takeover by Buffett.
