The world's richest man has backed leading Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama for the top job.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says he previously offered to support both Obama and former first lady turned New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

However Buffett said he was giving his full support to Obama after it became clear the leading Democrat would seal his party's nomination.

"I will be very happy if he is elected President," Buffet said.

"He is my choice."
