Hmmm, sounds interesting but the right tail of the SnP 476 have a market cap of ~ 16-17 trillion.

Fake news, unfortunately.
Lowest market cap is $5.21B.

A bit ambiguous. Berkshire has enough cash to buy any one of those 476 companies. CocaCola, but not HomeDepot. Or (approximately) all of the smallest 40 of the 500. Roughly from Campbell's Soup to Mohawk Flooring.
