Buffett Partners
When Buffett first started, he ran a modern day hedge fund called Buffett Partners.
If you invested $10,000, it would have grown to $160,000 in 12 years. The fund averaged 25% a year.
The high fee structure allowed Buffett to get cash to buy Berkshire.

When you study Buffett and Berskhire, I always recommend studying young Buffett.
He knew how to build wealth at a young age in a rapid manner. He traded stocks via arbitrage and then eventually looked to buying companies outright.
