Itโs official. Warren Buffett will retire as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, closing nearly six decades at the helm of one of the biggest companies in the world.
โRuling from the grave does not have a great record, and I have never had an urge to do so.โ - he said.
The 95-year-old announced that Greg Abel, Berkshireโs Vice Chairman and Buffettโs trusted lieutenant, will take over as CEO. But we already knew that. About future CEOs, Buffett said: โBerkshire should particularly avoid those whose goal is to retire at 65, to become lookat-me rich or to initiate a dynasty.โ Fair enough.
Buffett wrote a really heartwarming farewell letter. He said that he will โgo quiet,โ ending his annual shareholder letters and stepping back from the legendary Omaha meetings that drew tens of thousands of investors each year.
Unfortunately, I missed my chance to go last year, even though I knew it was probably the last. I am told it is quite the experience! Let me know in the comments if you atteded ๐ I know @Nezatron did :)
Still, he will retain a substantial portion of his $BRK.A shares, gradually increasing donations to family foundations, and remain a guiding presence until investors gain full confidence in Abelโs leadership. That way, the company and its investors will likely not experience any negative shock. We now hold the shares as a stabilizing part of the portfolio thanks to Berkshire's massively diversified business.
He closed with timeless advice: โ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐๐. ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ โ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฒ๐บ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ.โ
