" It seems likely that Berkshire will owe more than $15 billion in cash taxes on the realized gains because they probably aren't finished selling. But 21% ain't bad if you're a trillionaire."

nola, once upon a time Buffett told us his desired holding period was, forever. It looks like he has now decided to pay 50 BILLION or so in taxes on realized gains in 2024. Are the BV calcs done after tax on half our unrealized cap gains or pre tax? Any idea if any of our other large public holdings or subs are using the tax gimmicks KO used? Thanks bud.
