Rounding the numbers some, I think today the roughly $5,000 of Berkshire I inherited went up - in this one day - $800,000.

I requested Grok 3 to comment on above including letting it know Berkshire went up 4.11% today.

==========

Let’s work this out together. If a 4.11% increase in your Berkshire equals $800,000, we can calculate your total Berkshire before that jump.

The formula is:
Original Berkshire × (4.11/100) = 800,000

Re-arranging:
Original Berkshire = (800,000)/(0.0411)

Now, let’s crunch the numbers:
Original Berkshire = 19,464,720.19

So, your Berkshire was about $19.46 million before the increase. Add the $800,000 gain, and your total Berkshire now would be roughly $20.26 million. Does that sound right That’s an impressive nest egg! Well done & Congratulations!
