Becoming Berkshire

1966: Warren Buffett & The Walt Disney Company

27 Jul 2025

Description

Welcome to Episode 9 of Becoming Berkshire! As we continue our journey through 1966, a pivotal year for Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, we're diving deep into one of his most fascinating early investments: his acquisition of 5% of The Walt Disney Company. This period also saw Berkshire Hathaway pay its only dividend of 10 cents per share, signaling Buffett's active exploration of new capital allocation avenues. You'll discover how Buffett's curiosity was piqued by Mary Poppins' theatrical success, leading him to ponder Disney's "Moat" and conduct unconventional due diligence, broadening his definition of "intrinsic value" to include Disney's "off the books" film library.
