If you wonder which company has the highest share price in the world, here is the answer. Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate headed by legendary investor Warren Buffett, has the most expensive stock in the world, with shares trading at over $400,000 each.

As of early 2026, the most expensive stock in the world remains Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class A (BRK.A). Trading at approximately $750,000 to $760,000 per share, it is the highest-priced stock ever listed on a public exchange. The extreme price is due to Warren Buffett's lifelong refusal to perform a "stock split" on the Class A shares, as he believes a high price attracts long-term, value-oriented investors rather than short-term speculators. For retail investors who cannot afford the Class A price, the "Class B" shares (BRK.B) trade at a much more accessible $500 per share. Other "heavyweight" stocks in 2026 include the Swiss chocolatier Lindt & Sprüngli (LISN), which trades at over $150,000 per share, and NVR, Inc., a U.S. homebuilder that trades near $7,500. While companies like Apple or Amazon have multi-trillion dollar valuations, their individual "per-share" prices are kept low through frequent splits, unlike the massive "per-share" cost of Berkshire’s A-shares.
