If Warren buffet never sells his stocks, then how does he make any money?

I noticed that warren buffet never sells his coke stocks, or his UPS stock, and if he never sells then how does he get more money to buy more stocks.

The biggest part of the Berkshire business is now the variety of insurance companies they own. These insurance companies throw off a ton of cash in the form of insurance premiums. Even if there is a claim the premiums are invested for a significant time (generally longer than 1 year).

The publicly owned companies (e.g. Coke, Washington Post) pay dividends.

The privately owned companies (e.g. Shaw) generate cash that goes to Berkshire.

Read his annual letter to Shareholders which is available on the website.

Buffet does a lot of options trading, too, Especially covered calls on the stocks that he owns. He may not have to sell them buy sometimes they get called away.

He is paid dividends and stock splits will increase the amount of shares he owns. So, he may not sell his original stocks, but he may have sold subsequent split shares.

Mostly salary, but remember his wealth is in his equity interest in Berkshire Hathaway - he owns 3.1 million Class A shares for a total of about $34 billion, not to mention other holdings he has.

He does sell stocks if the company becomes over priced. Here is Berkshire Hathaway stock holding of 2006 http://loschmanagement.com/Berkshire%20Hathaway/Berkshire%20Holdings/2006.pdf

First things first, wealth is never necessarily a measure of how much cash money you actually own but how much net worth you have.
