Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 since the mid-1960s, generating an aggregate return of nearly 5,000,000% for his company’s Class A shares. His investment strategies are closely followed through Berkshire Hathaway’s quarterly Form 13F filings, which provide insights into his stock transactions.
Despite major investments in companies like Apple, Chevron, Coca-Cola, American Express, and Occidental Petroleum, Buffett’s most substantial financial commitment has been to his own company. Since July 2018, following a change in Berkshire Hathaway’s buyback policy, Buffett has repurchased over $77 billion of Berkshire stock, surpassing the total amount spent on the aforementioned companies combined. This strategy has effectively increased the ownership stakes of long-term investors.
