Warren Buffett's $1 Trillion Berkshire Hathaway Empire Has a Website From the ‘90s As Proof He Still Believes 'Less Is More'

Warren Buffett, one of the richest men on the planet and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), oversees a company valued at approximately $1 trillion with an annual revenue surpassing $350 billion. Yet, the website of this corporate behemoth appears straight out of the early internet era, with no flashy visuals, animations, or modern design elements in sight.

Instead, the landing page of Berkshire Hathaway's website, stark in its simplicity, features a bare list of hyperlinks on a white background, a text ad for Geico car insurance, and a physical mailing address in Omaha for feedback submissions. The site even warns visitors that, due to its small team, responses to queries are unlikely. For many, it’s hard to believe this minimalist site is the online face of America’s seventh-largest public company, a conglomerate employing about 400,000 people across a diverse range of subsidiaries like Geico, See’s Candies, and BNSF Railway. Despite its basic nature and general lack of substance, the website still sees about 400,000 visitors every month.
