The 76-year-old legendary investor Warren Buffett, who is known as `the Oracle of Omaha', topped the chart.

“A $10,000 investment into Berkshire Hathaway when Buffett took control in 1965 will be worth over $50 million today. By comparison, $10,000 in the S&P 500 would have grown to only $500,000,” Coattail Investor stated.

Next to Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Buffett in the list is John Bogle, founder and chairman of the Vanguard group. Bogle, often referred to as the father of index fund investing (he is the creator of the first S&P 500 index fund), is followed by Fidelity Vice-Chairman Peter Lynch, who was a Fidelity fund manager earlier.

Julian Robertson, a titan of hedge fund investing, comes to the fourth place in the coveted list. Founder chairman of Tiger Management Corp, Robertson is famous for turning $8 million in 1980 into over $8 billion in the late 1990s.

Michael Steinhardt, founder of Steinhardt Partner, who ended his illustrious hedge fund career in 1995, a year after suffering big losses, comes next. A $1 investment with Steinhardt when he founded the firm in 1967 would be worth $462 today.

George Soros, founder of Soros Fund Management, who shorted the British pound for a one-day gain in excess of $11 billion, is sixth in the list of illustrious investors.
