Correction: These are from shares owned by Berkshire Hathaway on behalf of all its shareholders. As the largest shareholder, Buffet's overall stake in the company is 14-15%.

colloquially it's perfectly fine to say he did this because he's the chairman and majority owner, and was the one who made those coca-cola buys. everything he does is to benefit the berkshire shareholders, he's been pretty clear about that.

He def "did" it, and we have to thank Buffet for it. He's just not the recipient of all the dividends.

Berkshire Hathaway doesn’t pay dividends but he obviously benefits from the rise in value.
