Billionaire and investing legend Warren Buffett traded stocks in his personal account that his company Berkshire Hathaway was also buying and selling, according to a new report from ProPublica.<\/p>\n

The report, published Thursday, citing data said to have been leaked from the Internal Revenue Service, alleges Buffett traded equities in his personal account during the same quarter, or the quarter prior, as Berkshire Hathaway
\n BRK.A,
\n +0.69%<\/bg-quote><\/p>\n

BRKB,
\n +1.85%<\/bg-quote>
\n traded those same stocks in 2009 and 2012. Stocks that Buffett and Berkshire both traded in during that period are said to have included Walmart
\n WMT,
\n +1.38%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n Wells Fargo
\n WFC,
\n +1.21%<\/bg-quote>
\n and Johnson & Johnson
\n JNJ,
\n -0.12%<\/bg-quote>.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n

Buffett has publicly disavowed any inclination to trade in stocks that may be deemed to pose conflicts of interest with Berkshire Hathaway. \u201cI try to stay away from anything that could conflict with Berkshire,\u201d Buffett said during the company\u2019s annual meeting in 2016. \u201cI can\u2019t be buying what Berkshire is buying,\u201d he\u2019d said four years earlier.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately respond to MarketWatch\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The 93-year-old \u201cOracle of Omaha\u201d has publicly stated that he has a private investment account that is separate from Berkshire, which is required to disclose its holdings on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n

Buffett has a net worth of $116.4 billion, according to Forbes, the fifth largest personal fortune in the world.<\/p>\n

Berkshire Hathaway ended the third quarter with a record cash pile of $157.2 billion, boosted by high interest rates. The company\u2019s stock carries a market cap of $755 billion and is up 15.02% over the last 12 months. The broad-market benchmark S&P 500
\n SPX
\n is up 11%.<\/p>\n
