"Berkshire Hathaway's Record-Breaking Year: Profits Soar, Cash Pile Surges"
Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, reported a record annual profit of $97.1 billion last year, attributing the success to gains in its insurance operations and investment income. The conglomerate's operating earnings rose 21 percent to $37.4 billion, with its insurance division and stock investments driving the growth. However, revenues from its railroad and utility businesses declined. Buffett also paid tribute to Charlie Munger, his longtime lieutenant, in his annual letter to investors.
