About Berkshire Hathaway

Berkshire Hathaway is the sprawling conglomerate built by Warren Buffett over six decades, combining wholly owned businesses spanning insurance (GEICO, Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance), railroads (BNSF), energy (Berkshire Hathaway Energy), and manufacturing and retail, alongside one of the largest publicly traded equity portfolios in the world (including large stakes in Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express, among others). Traced back to a 19th-century textile company (1839) but built into its modern form starting in the 1960s, Berkshire is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, and has long stood apart from typical conglomerates for its deeply decentralized management style: Buffett historically gave subsidiary CEOs wide autonomy while he and a small team allocated capital at the parent level.
