Buffett is known to be one of the best portfolio managers of all time. Berkshire holds major investments in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), American Express Co. (NYSE:AXP), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), and Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO).

BRK has returned 13.57% this year so far, while SPY is down 4.42%. This, as Berkshire is sitting on a cashpile worth $348 billion as of the first quarter of 2025.
