He gave up the chairman title in September after relinquishing the CEO job to Greg Abel in January. Berkshire's massive cash pile also returned to growing in the third quarter and reached $377.4 billion, up from $365.5 billion at the end of June.

Berkshire underwriting profit at all its insurers fell to $1.35 billion from last year's $2.37 billion.
