They have a 'cheap' class B share only $3,230.

I think Warren Buffet does not want average investors to invest in class A shares and also wants to control the liquidity so that price volatility is less... But don't quote me on that...

Amazing! Thanks guys, so what does this company do, and why does Warren Buffet not split it?

it is just a holding company. it owns other stocks/companies


to keep out the riff raff

he doesn't want "average" people buying 100 shares, like you would a Ford or GE stock
