Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway BRK has made a significant investment in Chubb Limited CB, acquiring 25,923,840 shares. Chubb is a leading global insurance company and it currently rewards its shareholders with an annual dividend of $3.64 per share.

To determine the total annual dividend income from this investment, we multiply the number of shares by the annual dividend per share:
Total Annual Dividend = Number of Shares x Annual Dividend per Share
Don't Miss:
- Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." This high-yield real estate fund, offering an 8% yield, makes earning passive income easier than ever.
- If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it?
So…
Berkshire shares of Chubb: 25,923,840
Chubb annual dividend per share: $3.64
Total Annual Dividend = 25,923,840 x 3.64
Result: $94,364,777.60 in dividends annually
Berkshire Hathaway will receive about $94.4 million annually in dividends from its investment in Chubb, which does not include reinvesting those dividends. If those dividends were reinvested, the annual dividend income would grow accordingly.
The income Chubb offers aligns with Buffett’s investment philosophy, which emphasizes steady, predictable returns – which is why he loves insurance companies.
Investors must also note that Chubb has raised its annual dividend payment for 31 consecutive years, making it a Dividend Aristocrat, so Buffett and Berkshire can count on a growing stream of dividends in the years ahead.
