The "Next Berkshire Hathaway" Just Made a $2 Billion Move

By Matt Frankel, CFP – Jan 13, 2026 at 2:33PM EST

A unique company just took a big step to set itself up to be tomorrow's biggest conglomerate.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman recently made a big investment in real estate developer Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH 2.40%), with the goal of expanding the company's focus and creating a "modern-day Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A +0.96%)(BRK.B +1.35%)." Howard Hughes recently announced its first major step toward realizing Ackman's vision, and it's a big one.
