Billionaire Warren Buffett Invests $196.7 Billion in Various Assets as Oracle of Omaha Readies for Succession

Billionaire Warren Buffett Allocates $196.7 Billion to Select Assets Before Departure from Berkshire Hathaway

Billionaire Warren Buffett has allocated $196.7 billion to a small group of assets ahead of his departure from Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett, who plans on ending his legendary 60-year tenure at the end of 2025, has placed more than 70% of the firm’s assets into just seven stocks.

The stocks reflect Buffett’s time-tested method of handpicking assets for their resilience and consumer appeal – while Berkshire continues to hoard a staggering $347.7 billion in cash. Here’s a look at where the Oracle of Omaha is placing his bets before the curtains on his legendary career close.

  • Apple ($58.9 billion allocated): Apple remains Berkshire’s top holding, although Buffett has sold more than half of the firm’s stake in the tech giant since 2023.
  • American Express ($43.6 billion allocated): A bet on the financial giant’s premium customer base and payment network.
  • Coca-Cola ($28.4 billion allocated): A longtime Buffett favorite with global brand recognition and consistent dividends.
  • Bank of America ($27.8 billion allocated): A top holding despite Buffett significantly trimming his stake and reducing bank investments overall.
  • Chevron ($17.3 billion allocated): An energy giant offering strong dividends, aligning with Buffett’s love for reliable cash flows.
  • Occidental Petroleum ($12.3 billion allocated): Buffett’s longstanding bet on energy continues with this oil and gas leader.
  • Kraft Heinz ($8.4 billion allocated): Another consumer goods giant and longtime Buffett favorite.

Buffett has selected Greg Abel to be his successor next year, entrusting him to continue Berkshire’s legacy of prudent investing and long-term value creation.
