This is trivially easy with Google Gemini as well.

I get the following

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Estimated Year-End Book Value Per Share

Fiscal Year Ending      Book Value Per Class B Share
December 31, 2025        ~$332.44
December 31, 2024        ~$301.04
December 31, 2023        ~$259.05
December 31, 2022        ~$215.40

Then I asked it to assume I had 10,000 shares and wanted to sell 2.5%

It came up with

Selling 2.5% of the $2,769,825 average book value of your position results in proceeds of $69,245.63.
To reach your target of $69,245.63 at the current market price of $489.25 (the closing price as of June 12, 2026), 
you would need to sell approximately 141.53 shares.

So this would generate around $70K x 4 = $280,000 in annual income off a portfolio value of $4,800,000 or roughly 5.8% - which is right at the average...
