Warren Buffett's face superimposed onto an image of a pile of gold bars.

3 Things Warren Buffett Has Said About Gold

Warren Buffett has a formidable reputation as an investor — with a net worth of US$160 billion in May 2025, he’s among the world’s richest people and a business role model for many.

Buffett, who run his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A,NYSE:BRK.B) for over 60 years, made waves when he announced in May 2025 that he would be stepping down as CEO at the end of the year, although he will stay on as chairman.

Buffet is also well known for being uninterested in gold. For those wondering Buffett invests in gold, he has made his stance on the yellow metal abundantly clear over the years, and it’s not positive — put simply, he doesn’t think gold fits in with his strategy of value investing, which involves picking stocks that are trading for less than they are worth.

Given Buffett’s aversion to gold, market watchers were understandably surprised when Berkshire Hathaway invested in Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD) in Q2 2020, paying around US$560 million for about 21 million shares of the major gold miner.

What was behind that decision? Many headlines proclaimed that Buffett had changed his mind on gold. But there were plenty of counterpoints — some suggested that it could have been another person at Berkshire that made the trade and not Buffett himself; others pointed out that there’s a difference between investing in gold and investing in a gold-mining company. Still others noted that Berkshire’s stake in Barrick was relatively small compared to its other holdings.

Ultimately, Buffett and Berkshire's position in Barrick turned out to be a short one. Berkshire Hathaway exited only two quarters later, which was just long enough to reap the rewards of gold's big bump from the COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps the Oracle of Omaha was clued in to the precious metal's status as a safe-haven asset in times of economic uncertainty.

Whatever the reason for the moves at Berkshire, it’s interesting to look back at some of the comments Warren Buffett has made about gold. While he hasn’t spent a huge amount of time discussing gold (after all, he doesn’t like it), he’s spoken enough about it that there’s no mistaking his stance. Here’s a look at three quotes that sum up what Warren Buffett thinks about gold.
