Barrons is reporting brk may owe 15 billion tax on its apple sales.

I know it may be shocking to some that realizing $73.7 Billion in taxable gains in the first six months of the year comes with a 20-21% cash tax bill, but don't feel too bad since Uncle Sam has to send $15 Billion of T-bill interest right back to Omaha over the course of a year.

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.
