After an incredible 55-year tenure, the legendary Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the age of 95. This marks the end of an era for the "Oracle of Omaha," who transformed a struggling textile company into a global investment powerhouse. His approach to investing, characterised by practical and accessible advice, has profoundly influenced generations of Americans.
Buffett's departure sees Greg Abel, the current CEO of Berkshire's energy division and a veteran of the company, taking the reins. While Buffett will transition to the role of Chairman, his direct leadership of the conglomerate's daily operations is concluding. Under his stewardship, Berkshire Hathaway has built a remarkably diverse portfolio, spanning industries from insurance and railroads to consumer goods like candy and ice cream. This success was achieved while Buffett famously maintained a frugal lifestyle, residing in the same modest home purchased decades ago.
A significant, albeit late, foray into technology was Berkshire's $1 billion investment in Apple in 2016. This move proved exceptionally shrewd, with Apple becoming Berkshire's largest holding, now valued at over $65 billion. Despite this, Buffett has remained steadfastly sceptical of cryptocurrencies, famously dismissing Bitcoin as "rat poison squared" and a mere "gambling token." His legacy is not only defined by his financial acumen but also by his substantial philanthropic contributions from his vast fortune.
