Warren Buffett Has Gained Over $182 Billion On These 4 Stocks
On Wall Street, few if any investors can match Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett's prowess for making money. Since taking over as CEO in 1965, he's created over $720 billion in market value for shareholders (himself included), and led the company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an aggregate gain of nearly 3,960,000%, through this past weekend.
What's perhaps most surprising about Warren Buffett's investing success is that, despite his company holding close to four dozen securities, only a small number of stocks account for the lion's share of Berkshire Hathaway's unrealized gains. Of the approximate $211 billion in unrealized gains Buffett's company ended with last week, more than $182 billion of these gains (86%) came from just four stocks.
Keep in mind that these figures don't include the dividends Berkshire Hathaway has been receiving from these companies.
