What few people realize is that even Warren Edward Buffett used a Reverse Merger to take his company public.

Warren Edward Buffett—the world-renowned American investor, entrepreneur, and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, widely regarded as one of the most successful investors in history, with a reported net worth of $113 billion in 2022—is also known among insiders for executing one of the most successful Reverse Mergers ever.

As one of the wealthiest men on the planet, Buffett understands business better than most—and Berkshire Hathaway itself went public through a reverse merger structure.

Originally a struggling textile company, Berkshire Hathaway merged with National Indemnity Company, a highly profitable insurance business. This strategic merger became one of the most famous and transformative transactions in financial history—marking the foundation of the Berkshire Hathaway empire as we know it today.
