Yesterday, Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares rose by 1.35% to $460.63, reaching a record closing price and market value for the fourth consecutive trading day, according to Dow Jones market data.

Berkshire Hathaway's market value has increased by $218 billion this year, surpassing the current market values of companies such as American Express, McDonald's, Cisco Systems, and Wells Fargo. Currently, Berkshire Hathaway's market value stands at $992.9 billion, just a step away from the milestone of $1 trillion.
