Warren Buffett was undoubtedly one of the greatest of his era—a man of class and grace.

A gentleman in every sense, he controlled billions in his portfolio yet has rarely been involved in negative news or caught in American political quagmire.

Known for his intellect and accolades, Buffett has dined with world-class leaders yet has never been misled by the thought of his own ego, class, or status.

Now, after sixty years at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has officially announced his retirement as CEO by the end of 2025.

The billionaire investor, widely known as the Oracle of Omaha, has confirmed that he will pass leadership to Greg Abel, the company’s Vice Chairman.

Greg Abel is currently the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy.

He has worked with Buffett for over two decades, first joining MidAmerican Energy, which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1999, according to his biography.

Abel later became CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy and has served as Vice Chairman of Non-Insurance Operations since 2018.

Buffett, now ninety-four years old, built Berkshire Hathaway into a $1.16 trillion empire, shaping global finance, corporate America, and economic policies.

Though stepping down, he has pledged to keep his fortune invested in the company, ensuring its stability for years to come.

Beyond business, Buffett’s legacy extends to philanthropy.

Despite his vast wealth, he has consistently emphasized that his three children—Susan, age 72; Howard, 71; and Peter Buffett, 67—will not inherit the bulk of his fortune.

Instead, he has committed most of his assets to charitable causes, supporting education, healthcare, and poverty relief, according to his biography.

Berkshire Hathaway’s significance goes far beyond Wall Street.

The company impacts the U.S. economy and everyday Americans in several ways.

It plays a crucial role in job creation, with businesses like GEICO, Dairy Queen, and BNSF Railway employing hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Many people unknowingly benefit from its holdings in Apple, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America, as these companies provide essential products, financial services, and investment opportunities.

Berkshire Hathaway’s long-term investment strategy also influences market trends, helping maintain economic confidence.

As Buffett transitions out of his leadership role, his influence remains deeply embedded in global finance and philanthropy.

His departure marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy that will shape future generations of MBA graduates, investors, and business leaders alike.
