Warren Buffett who is currently the 9th richest person in the world just sent out this full letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders sharing his most recent thoughts
A thread 🧵
Warren Buffett just said Berkshire Hathaway paid a total of $26.8 BILLION to the 🇺🇸 IRS in taxes in 2024
That's roughly 5% of what ALL of corporate America paid
"In a very minor way, Berkshire shareholders have participated in the American miracle by foregoing dividends, thereby electing to reinvest rather than consume.
