Warren Buffett’s company Berkshire Hathaway has never paid shareholders a dividend while under Buffett’s leadership.

Berkshire’s returns have crushed the broader benchmark S&P 500 index over many decades, and many people regard Buffett as the best investor of all time.

They often look for companies in turnaround mode — but they pay nice dividends to compensate investors for their time. Buffett and Berkshire own nine high-yielding stocks. Here’s the best of the bunch.
