Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) chairman and legendary value investor Warren Buffett has an interesting relationship with dividends. While the conglomerate collects billions in dividends every year – $6.04 billion to be precise in 2022 – it does not pay dividends.
In fact, Berkshire Hathaway has never paid a dividend in its history even as it repurchases shares often. Between 2020 and 2021, Berkshire repurchased around $50 billion worth of its shares as Buffett wasn’t able to find other attractive avenues to deploy capital.
