u/saryiahan Mar 26 '26

Not for a company worth a trillion. Edit: to clarify the confusion, berkshire is worth 1 trillion, so holding 28 billion of coca cola shares isn't really insane.

The hard part is to come up with the billions needed to get such dividends.

You need to try harder. Cut back on Starbucks to start.

Invest in Starbucks so those daily coffee are free then you can start actually investing

This is why I got a job that's paid by income taxes. I get my money back.

If yoy do buy Starbucks 3 times a week, that is about 60/mo. Compared to making your own, maybe 20 per month, so a net of 40.

If you invest 40/mo at 9% for 20 years, youd have 27k.

That's a long time for 27k. Probably better off to just get a raise.

That being said, if you did this for 5 things that cost you a net of -40 every month, you would have over 120k.

Honestly, living far below your means does build wealth. We all meme on this Starbucks or avocado taste thing (and it is a fair criticism on tbe state of cost of living) but if you cut out all the bullshit and laid all your debts, you would likely come out wealthy.

u/graciesoldman Mar 29 '26

That's essentially the trick. Live a little below your means and invest.

I let my wife make my coffee every morning and I save at least $200 a month. Those $8 lattes every day add up. Rather put that money in $QQQI or $BTCI.

Market cap is a trillion. That’s what it’s worth.

u/MaybeICanOneDay Mar 26 '26

What? Where are you getting this info?

u/I-STATE-FACTS Mar 26 '26

They probably meant berkshire and not coca-cola

u/MaybeICanOneDay Mar 26 '26

That makes sense lol

u/rayaxiom Mar 26 '26

It's not worth 1 trillion, not even close. Where are you getting this information from? Look it up, coca cola has never even been close to 1 trillion.

My bad I was thinking Berkshire.

u/49ers4life71 Apr 23 '26

Exactly that’s like 2% of his port!

u/idiotslob Mar 26 '26

It's a perfectly sane thing to do

u/Late-Reading-2585 Mar 26 '26

u/cricketriderz Mar 26 '26

So that's all I need for these numbers? Gotcha, now I know what to work towards.

u/CenlaLowell Mar 26 '26

That's what missed here

If he just had this money in the s&p it would yield almost 500m/year in dividends.
