A FlightSafety International (a Berkshire Hathaway owned company) employee just hit the jackpot in Warren Buffett's $1-million March Madness challenge! 🏀💸 This lucky winner correctly predicted 31 out of 32 first-round games in the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. It's the first time since 2016 that someone has snagged the top prize! 🎉
But that's not all! Another 11 Berkshire Hathaway employees also nailed 31 games and each took home a sweet $100K. 💵💵
Buffett's challenge, which started in 2016, has been a tough nut to crack. Initially, you had to guess the Sweet 16 perfectly, but the rules got a bit easier in 2024 and 2025. This year, 12 employees hit the mark, but only one walked away with the million-dollar prize by picking 29 consecutive games correctly before their first miss. Talk about March Madness magic! ✨🏆
