Hmm: -Naturally, there are limits to the size of a company. But I don't think that we really know what those limits are. I certainly don't think that BRK (with cash flow of a scant few billion) is near them. -You say that it's unlikely that a single company could account for more than 10% of corporate profits. 10% is actually a lot--$30 billion in cash flow would be a substantial improvement for BRK -Notably, BRK is a holding company. As such, you'd expect them to be less constrained by the 10% limit. -In general, society seems to have been moving toward a trend of increased power in the hands of the few. Perhaps the 10% limit will be broken. After all, if you were to say twenty years ago that by now there would be someone with $100 billion, and about five other people within shooting range of $50, it would have seemed crazy.
