Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and multibillionaire, has led Berkshire Hathaway for six decades without paying dividends to shareholders. However, he has a strong affinity for dividend-paying stocks, as evidenced by Berkshire’s $280 billion portfolio, where the top eight holdings, constituting about 75% of it, all pay dividends. Buffett values dividends for their indication of a company’s health and profitability, as they provide tangible returns without the need to sell shares.
