The 25 Biggest Stocks Warren Buffett Owns Today

Warren Buffett has loomed over Wall Street for so long that it’s easy to forget how quietly his story began. He started buying his first shares at age 11 and filed his first tax return at 13. From those humble beginnings, he built Berkshire Hathaway into a $1 trillion holding company and consistently outperformed the market. Along the way, he turned early investors into centimillionaires, gave away more than half of his own fortune, and became the only person ever to rise from the Forbes 400 list’s first issue in 1982 to the top spot in 2008 without ever leaving the list.

Those headline numbers only hint at why professionals still treat his portfolio like a treasure map. When Buffett buys, he tends to buy for keeps. The average holding period is around 3 to 10 years, and several stakes date back to the late 1980s.
