You can see that Apple (AAPL) accounts for over 45% of the equity portfolio as of June 30, 2023. This position has generated over $100 billion in profits for Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
Buffett has managed to accumulate the position between 2016 and 2018 at a total cost of approximately $36 billion. He did sell about $11 billion worth of Apple stock in 2020. In addition, Apple sends $820 million in dividends each year to Berkshire Hathaway.
He did make large investments in Apple, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, American Express and Kraft Heinz. His portfolio is concentrated mostly as a result of letting winners run, and not selling prematurely.
You can view the dividend contribution from each of his portfolio holdings from the table below. Berkshire Hathaway is generating almost $5.50 billion in annual dividend income from his portfolio.
Note this doesn't include dividends received from privately owned businesses such as See's Candies or Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Nor does it include $760 Million in annual dividends from Berkshire Hathaway's investment in Occidental Petroleum Preferred stock.

The total portfolio value was roughly $355 Billion dollars as of last night. It is on track to generate $5.54 Billion in annual dividend income. Approximately $339 Billion of value is related to dividend paying stocks. Only $16 Billion out of the whole $355 Billion is invested in non-dividend paying companies.
For the quarter ended on June 30, 2023, Warren Buffett and his lieutenants Todd and Ted added to the following existing positions:
Buffett seems to be a big fan of Oil and Gas companies as of recently, with his large investments in Occidental Petroleum. He also seems to be investing in financials such as Capital One Financial. The investments in homebuilders were likely from one of his top lieutenants Todd Combes or Ted Weschler.
They reduced ownership in the following companies:
Looks like he sold out of a lot of companies that Dividend Growth Investors own. For example Chevron, McKesson and Marsh & McLennan.
