Berkshire Hathaway
Omaha-based holding company
Berkshire Hathaway is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, led for decades by investor Warren Buffett.
The company owns subsidiaries across insurance, railroads, utilities, and manufacturing while holding major stakes in publicly traded companies like Apple and Coca-Cola.
Its Class A shares are famously among the most expensive stocks in the world, as Buffett has refused to split them.
Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting draws tens of thousands to Omaha.
