That's the case with <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B), the conglomerate that's been run by billionaire Warren Buffett since 1965. In Buffett's more than five decades at the helm, he's created over $500 billion in value for Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders and overseen an annual average return of 20%. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of closer to 3,400,000% for the Class A shares (BRK.A), taking into account year-to-date gains.</p>\n<p>One of the reasons Berkshire is such a successful company is its cyclical ties. A majority of the company's nearly $323 billion investment portfolio is tied up in technology, financials, and consumer staples. These are sectors that perform really well when the U.S. and global economy are firing on all cylinders. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, Buffett is keenly aware that periods of expansion last considerably longer than periods of contraction. In other words, the Oracle of Omaha is simply playing the odds.</p>\n<p>The other key to Berkshire's superior returns is its dividend stock ties. While Berkshire doesn't pay a dividend, quite a few of the companies it's invested in do. All told, my back-of-the-envelope calculation has Berkshire netting around $5.1 billion in dividend income this year. Based on its initial cost basis, this works out to a roughly 5% yield, which is insanely good, and points to the company's likelihood of being wildly successful for many years to come.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F641661%2Fhealthcare-investing-retirement-surgeon-cash-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Intuitive Surgical</h2>\n<p>Businesses that have clearly identifiable and sustainable competitive advantages are also a smart place to put money to work. Surgical-assisted robotic systems developer <b>Intuitive Surgical</b> (NASDAQ:ISRG) is a perfect example of a company with a dominant presence that can make American workers rich.</p>\n<p>When the first half of 2021 came to a close, Intuitive Surgical had 6,335 of its da Vinci surgical systems installed worldwide (although most are in the United States.). You could add up all of the company's competitors, and you still wouldn't come close to the number of surgical systems Intuitive has installed. Between the high cost of these systems ($0.5 million to $2.5 million), the training provided to surgeons, and the rapport built up over the past 20 years, Intuitive Surgical is effectively locking in its clients for a long time.</p>\n<p>More importantly, Intuitive Surgical is designed to improve its operating margins over time. This is a fancy way of saying that earnings growth can outpace sales growth for years, if not decades, to come.</p>\n<p>Initially, selling its da Vinci systems made up the bulk of the company's revenue. But these are intricate systems to build, which meant margins weren't all that great. As time has passed, most of Intuitive's sales are now derived from instruments sold with each procedure and the servicing of its systems. These are higher-margin categories and the company's ticket to a growing bottom line.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F641661%2Fsquare-card-terminal.png&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>If you want unbridled innovation, look no further than fintech stock <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ). Despite its huge run since the pandemic low in March 2020, it has all the tools needed to eventually become a $1 trillion company.</p>\n<p>Square's foundational segment continues to be its seller ecosystem. This is what provides point-of-sale devices, analytics, loans, and other tools to help merchants successfully grow their business. In the seven years leading up to the pandemic, gross payment volume (GPV) catapulted from $6.5 billion to $106.2 billion. This year, GPV should easily clear $140 billion.</p>\n<p>Something interesting to note about the seller ecosystem is that it's not just for small merchants any longer. In the June-ended quarter, 65% of all GPV derived from sellers with at least $125,000 in annualized GPV. That's up 10 percentage points from the comparable period in 2019. Since this is a merchant fee-driven segment, bigger merchants mean more gross profit.</p>\n<p>However, all eyes are on digital peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App, which more than quintupled its monthly active user count in three years. Cash App broadens Square's ability to generate revenue, and it brought in $55 in gross profit per user in the second quarter, compared to an acquisition cost per user of only around $5. These insane margins should power Square's valuation a lot higher.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F641661%2Fbusinessman-laptop-internet-search-research-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Pinterest</h2>\n<p>Another winning stock with the potential to make American workers rich by retirement is social media up-and-comer <b>Pinterest</b> (NYSE:PINS).</p>\n<p>Though a lot of emphasis has been placed on Pinterest's monthly active user (MAU) retracement in the second quarter, this near-term blip overlooks some very core and positive trends.

The purchases of MuleSoft, Tableau, and, more recently, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a> have helped to expand its customer-centric ecosystem and appeal to a larger swath of small and medium-sized businesses.
