There’s an unquestionable aura about a company whose stock gains over 200% in ten years. Warren Buffett, envied by many, respected by most, is the mastermind behind Berkshire Hathaway. And now, with graduation season just around the corner, OneShare’s proud to offer Berkshire Hathaway Class B stock. Following a January 2010 50-1 split, the new Class B shares – available at just $82 a pop (in comparison to over $123,000 a share for Class A!) – make Berkshire Hathaway |
once again accessible to more than the very wealthy.
Here are some fun facts about our illustrious new offering:
- The company traces its roots to a textile company called Valley Falls, founded in 1838
- In the past few decades, it has closed all of its remaining textile operations (the last one closing in 1985)
- Holdings now include GEICO, Fruit of the Loom, Dairy Queen, and Kirby vacuums (among many others)
- At nearly 27,000 participants, Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting is among Omaha, NE’s largest events (rivaled only by the College World Series)
- Even as a child, Warren Buffett had an entrepreneurial spirit, going door-to-door selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, or weekly magazines
- By the time Buffett graduated college at 19, he had already accumulated what, by today’s standards, would be comparable to $90,000 of wealth
If you’ve been wondering what to get an upcoming graduate, this may be just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Inspire them with the success of one of America’s greatest investors with a share in Berkshire Hathaway.
