Berkshire Hathaway
When it comes to conglomerates, Berkshire Hathaway is probably the first that comes to mind. Some of its holdings include Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Heinz Co., Mastercard, and Visa. In the third quarter of 2020, Check Capital Management raised its position in the Warren Buffett company by three percent or buying an additional 43,987 shares, now totaling 1.3 million shares.
Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO is one of the world’s wealthiest, with a current fortune of $85.6 billion. He and fellow philanthropist Microsoft founder Bill Gates have founded the Giving Pledge, which encourages the affluent to commit their fortune to those in need.
