The Complete Financial History Of Berkshire Hathaway

When asked what he’d like to be his legacy Warren Buffett answered that he’d like to be remembered as a teacher. Throughout his decades-long career, as he was amassing one of the worlds largest personal fortunes, Buffett has used his “soapbox” of wealth – his annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, and countless video interviews – to teach. That he often distills complex topics to simple analogies is evidence of his gift of teaching. This website is the product of my own journey to learn from one of the best investors the world has ever seen. As a way to give back to the next generation (or someone just learning about Berkshire), I hope to provide a place to collect the many timeless lessons he, and Berkshire, have offered. The Berkshire Hathaway Timeline highlights some of Berkshire’s long and varied history. The Berkshire Hathaway Archives contains financial information mostly related to Berkshire and its subsidiaries. Other material is available in the Resources page Finally, the Books page contains books I’ve found particularly useful or interesting on the subjects of Berkshire, investing in general, and/or the pursuit of wisdom. Like the journey of a student, the work here will never be done.
