Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company led by Warren Buffett, has its corporate headquarters in Omaha.
Berkshire is headquartered at 3555 Farnam Street in Omaha, Nebraska. The company’s modern identity developed after Buffett’s investment partnership began acquiring shares in the struggling textile manufacturer Berkshire Hathaway in the 1960s. Buffett later transformed it into a diversified holding company.
The business owns or invests in companies across insurance, railroads, utilities, manufacturing, retail, and finance. Its best-known operating businesses include GEICO, BNSF Railway, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and numerous manufacturing and consumer brands.
Omaha is closely associated with Berkshire because the city hosts the company’s annual shareholder meeting, popularly called the “Woodstock for Capitalists.” A common mix-up is confusing Berkshire’s headquarters with the locations of its many subsidiaries, which remain spread across the United States and other countries.
