The real Berkshire shares are going for over $100K each but they created a secondary non-voting share class and that is what is going for around $80.

It make me feel so warm & fuzzy that he is so filthy, stinkin' rich!
Maybe, I can scrape enough together and buy ONE share of his stock.........................................someday!
According to Yahoo:
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. New Com (BRK-B)
Last Trade: 82.68
You probably can afford more than 10 shares.
Berkshire Hathaway's stock symbol is BRK.A and is currently trading for approximately $124,000 per share.

If you own a S&P 500 index fund, you own a piece of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B replaced BNI in S&P 500 recently).
Warren's annual letter to Berkshire shareholders is always a good read (I was lucky to buy a few shares of BRK.B when it was traded below $3000 last year).

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had a strong 2009, but not strong enough to outperform the benchmark S&P 500 stock index.
In his just-released annual letter to Berkshire shareholders, Buffett reports the company's net worth increased by $21.8 billion last year.
That increased the company's per-share book value by 19.8 percent to $84,487.
But the S&P, including dividends, jumped 26.5 percent in 2009. That's 6.7 percentage points better than Berkshire's gain.
It's the first year since 2004 that Berkshire has underperformed the S&P.
Last year, Berkshire's per-share book value fell 9.6 percent, but that was much better than the S&P's 37.0 percent plunge.
Berkshire has underperformed the S&P in just seven calendar years since Buffett took over in 1965.
