Whether you’ve been in the business/investment world or not, you’ve probably heard of Warren Buffett. He’s arguably the greatest investor of all time. Today, however, let’s take a sneak peak into the company that he runs – Berkshire Hathaway! 👇

Matter of Fact

Hathaway Manufacturing and Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates merged in 1955 to form what we know today as Berkshire Hathaway. Blame it on ill fate or lousy management, the company was running a dying textile business, until Warren Buffett took over because of being the majority shareholder of the firm, in 1965.

Despite many that might have questioned his decision making then, he decided to take the company on a different path – in the investment and insurance business. And here we are today, when Berkshire Hathway is one of the largest companies in the world! That, ladies and gentleman, is one of the most successful stories in the United States business history!
