Warren Buffett is Not a Co-Founder of Berkshire Hathaway[edit]

In the first sentence, someone has misstated WB as a "co-founder" of Berkshire Hathaway, which is not factual. A predecessor company, run by Oliver Chase in 1839, combined in 1955 with Hathaway to form Berkshire Hathaway. Mr. Buffett did not begin purchasing shares in the public company until 1962, and the Partnership that he ran, Buffett Partners, Ltd (BPL), gained a majority and controlling interest by 1964.

Even if one ignored the 19th Century predecessor companies, the company that exists today, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., traces its legacy back to 1955 and Warren Buffett had zero involvement prior to 1962, thus excluding any possibility of founding. 2601:140:9481:6F40:D85:1116:4149:E19 (talk) 23:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
