According to The Kobeissi Letter, Berkshire Hathaway has delivered a staggering 5,500,000% return since 1964, meaning a $10,000 investment would now be worth $550 million. In comparison, the S&P 500 returned around 39,000% over the same period. This data highlights Berkshire Hathaway’s consistent long-term outperformance, exceeding the S&P 500 by more than 140 times. For traders, this underscores the impact of compounding returns and disciplined value investing, as well as the rarity of such extreme outperformance in modern markets (source: The Kobeissi Letter, Twitter, May 4, 2025).
