The road to $1T isn’t the same for every company👇

Last week, Berkshire Hathaway $Berkshire Hathaway-B (BRK.B.US)$ joined the elite group of public U.S. companies that have reached a $1T market cap.

Of the companies to hit this milestone, Berkshire took the longest—approximately 44.5 years from the time it went public—according to data compiled by my friends at VisualCapitalist.

Notably, Berkshire is the first non-tech company in the U.S. to achieve this feat.

In contrast, Meta $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ reached the $1T mark in record time, just 9.1 years after its IPO.

All of the companies on this list have maintained their trillion-dollar status, except for Tesla $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ .

The EV maker has faced a challenging couple of years and now trades at a $671B market cap.
