This we already know from the last Q but interesting to see it summarized this way. $1 Trillion and counting

https://apple.news/AaP2joTAuRg-gUMQJgs_KEA

"Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway recently surpassed $1 trillion of assets for the first time ever. That figure is more than double the size of Amazon's asset base, triple Apple's figure, and greater than Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet's assets put together."

Very cool & we are a Microcosm of America in many ways. Although because of our thoughtful & steady grove expansion, culture and nearly 60 year history under WEB, we still Feel smaller than what we truly are! Pretty cool and quite unique!

A trillion in total assets is pretty cool, but theoretically it's easy for a company to boost total assets by borrowing up to the eyeballs.

Sorting by shareholders' equity is more impressive.
Berkshire is #1 on that metric, and 85% ahead of #2.

It may be interesting to some that European insurer (Berkshire owns shares through General Re) Allianz also has over a Trillion USD in assets -

And so did AIG, according to AIG, in their 2007 Annual Report -
