SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Berkshire invested about $35 billion in Apple during the period between 2016 and 2018. That $35 billion investment then rapidly surged to around $185 billion before tax, including dividends and gains, Buffett was quoted by Business Insider as saying. 'And I didn't have to do a damn thing,' he added."
