Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett is one of the world’s richest people, with a net worth of around $86 billion. Unfortunately for small retail investors who want to follow in Buffett’s footsteps, buying even one share of Berkshire Hathaway is rather pricey.
Berkshire’s Class-A shares trade at around $345,000 per share. The Class-B shares meant for retail investors aren’t necessarily cheap, trading at around $230.
But just because Buffett’s company itself has a pricey stock doesn’t mean there aren’t Buffett stocks to buy out there that are affordable. Here are five stocks that Berkshire Hathaway holds that are priced under $25 per share.

Liberty Latin America Ltd (NASDAQ: LILA) (NASDAQ: LILAK)

Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU)
It’s been a brutal year for the oil and gas industry, and Canadian oil exploration and production company Suncor Energy is no exception. Shares are down 53.5% year-to-date in 2020, but Buffett isn’t bailing. Buffett famously urged investors to be greedy when others are fearful, and there is plenty of fear in the energy sector these days.
Berkshire holds 19.2 million shares of Suncor worth about $296.4 million. The stock is priced at just $15.44 per share.
Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE: GOLD)
Buffett has historically been very skeptical of gold as an investment, which is why many followers were surprised when Berkshire disclosed a large holding in gold miner Barrick Gold earlier this year. Buffett may be anticipating a spike in gold prices following the U.S. government’s unprecedented economic stimulus actions this year.
Berkshire holds 12 million shares of Barrick worth $290.1 million. The stock trades at just $24.50 per share.
