WASHINGTON — Warren Buffett has called himself mega-rich, but now he’s revealing how much money he made last year: $62,855,038.
The billionaire investor disclosed the figure in a letter he wrote this week to Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., that was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. Buffett and Huelskamp have been sparring over Buffett’s call for higher taxes on the wealthy.
In a New York Times opinion piece this summer, Buffett revealed that he paid $6,938,744 in federal taxes last year, or 17.4 percent of his taxable income.
