Bill Ackman is one of the most followed billionaire investors in the United States, and for good reason. His Pershing Square hedge fund has a strong history of delivering market-beating returns for investors.
Unlike some of the other popular billionaire investors, Ackman takes a more concentrated approach to Pershing's portfolio. In fact, there are only 10 stocks in it.

One interesting takeaway is that Ackman's three largest positions are all relatively new and were added to the portfolio within the past few years. It's worth noting that Ackman significantly increased the Howard Hughes stake during the second quarter in a deal that also saw Ackman become executive chairman of the business.
As a final thought, it's not a great idea to buy these -- or any other -- stocks just because a billionaire investor owns them. Ackman and Pershing Square's clients generally have a higher risk tolerance than the average investor, so keep this in mind.
However, looking at what billionaires are putting their own money into can be an excellent starting point to help you find stocks. Take a closer look at these stocks to see if they might be a good fit for you.
