The Most Expensive Stock You Can Buy Today

The recent global market rout that sent many stocks falling by the daily limit has a number of investors asking, "What is the most expensive stock you can buy today?"

The answer is still Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) at $203,759.75 per share.

Run by legendary investor Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway is a multinational conglomerate made up of insurance, railroad, utilities, retail, flight companies, and more. The company is based in Omaha, Neb.

When BRK.A shares eclipsed $200,000 for the first time in December 2014, talks swirled about the company splitting its stock.

In a stock split, a company increases the number of outstanding shares while lowering the price accordingly. Splits don't change anything fundamentally about a company's valuation. Yet a split makes shares more affordable, and more attractive, to retail investors.

However, Buffett has long resisted any urging to split the shares.

Here's a look at the nine other companies on the list of the 10 most expensive stocks you can buy today.
