Warren Buffett just mysteriously put $1,000,000,000 into these three stocks
Despite his advancing age, Warren Buffett is still a savvy businessman capable of grabbing headlines. While the American investor and philanthropist has vowed to give away most of his fortune, he's still got more than enough to live comfortably, as well as more than enough to make a few punts on the stock market. Alongside Bill Gates, Buffett formed The Giving Pledge with plans to make massive donations to charity and encourage other billionaires to follow suit. The 95-year-old still serves as the CEO of the Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate holding company, although recent investments from him and successor Greg Abel suggest Berkshire Hathaway is focusing its efforts in two key areas.
Buffett was recently in the news as his net worth managed to dodge the disastrous Trump tariffs.
Fortune has revealed Berkshire Hathaway’s latest investments, and even though Buffett is resigning at the end of 2025, he's clearly trying to future-proof his legacy. He's regularly known for making massive charitable donations, like giving away $6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock in July. $4.6 billion went to The Gates Foundation, while $1.6 billion was split between four family-run foundations, including charities led by each of his three children, and one named for his late wife, Susan Thompson Buffett.
What stocks has Warren Buffett invested in?
Even if you don't have a spare billion lying around like Buffet, you might want to know where he's just put his money. Whereas Silicon Valley is investing heavily in artificial intelligence, Berkshire Hathaway is betting on a home builder, an energy company, and a beverage brand.
Lennar
The most recent filings reveal how Berkshire Hathaway now holds seven million shares in Lennar Corporation. It's a 265% increase on its previous Lennar shares, which is one of the USA's biggest home builders.
Despite Lennar's stocks dropping by 28% in the past 12 months, it now equates to around 3% of Berkshire's total portfolio. President Donald Trump is trying to get the housing market moving again, accusing Fed chairman Jerome Powell of "hurting the housing industry very badly.”
A 2025 study from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claims America has a 'severe' shortage of over 4.7 million homes, adding: "Rising costs and limited supply are slowing new home construction despite high demand—underscoring the need for robust and lasting solutions to strengthen supply chain resilience and incentivize building to support the housing sector’s growth and stability.”
Chevron
The so-called Oracle of Omaha has also invested big in Chervon. The energy giant is reaping the rewards of Berkshire Hathaway increasing its shares to 3.45 million in the second quarter of 2025. Russia's invasion of Ukraine may have impacted the energy market, but the U.S. markets have reported negative inflation data on both gasoline and fuel oil in the past year. Bank of America claims that gas drove spending growth in September 2025, with gasoline accounting for about a third of growth across all consumer buying sectors.
Constellation
Buffett once made the shrewd move of investing $1 billion in Coca-Cola in the immediate aftermath of the 1987 market crash, and while some thought he was mad, it's a gamble that still earns Berkshire Hathaway $816 million every year in dividends.
Continuing to take a sip, Berkshire Hathaway has doubled its stake in the Constellation beverages brand. It now has 12 million shares that are worth $2.2 billion. Berkshire has also offloaded investments in Citigroup as it homes in on consumer-centered brands. Importantly, Constellation Brands has been increasing its low and no-alcohol portfolio.
If you want to follow in Buffett's footsteps, Lennar, Chevron, and Constellation could be three to take a look at.
