A living legend who has achieved so much success, no one can really replicate. Not even close. Just like his late partner Charlie, he prefers a modest and practical lifestyle. Hope he will live till 100 and beyond.

Warren Buffett Reveals He Stepped Down After Finally Feeling His Age

Warren Buffett can’t put his finger on exactly when he decided to hand over the reins of Berkshire Hathaway to Greg Abel.But in recent years Buffett observed just how much energy his appointed successor brought to each working day. And how his own days had slowed. The two men were operating at different speeds—increasingly so.“There was no magic moment,” Buffett, now 94, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “How do you know the day that you become old?”

The two men were operating at different speeds—increasingly so.  “There was no magic moment,” Buffett, now 94, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “How do you know the day that you become old?”Berkshire shareholders and onlookers have long wondered how anyone could replace Buffett, for decades a towering figure in American business and finance. But as he passed his 90th birthday, Buffett began to experience something most people come to accept much earlier in life: his age. “I didn’t really start getting old, for some strange reason, until I was about 90,” he said by phone from his office in Omaha, Neb. “But when you start getting old, it does become—it’s irreversible.”He began to lose his balance, occasionally, and sometimes had trouble recalling a person’s name. Suddenly, the newspapers he read looked like they were printed with too little ink. In the past year, those thoughts and feelings cohered into a decision. On May 3, at the Berkshire annual meeting, Buffett stunned the investing world when he revealed in the final minutes of his question-and-answer session his plan to step down as CEO in December and make way for Abel. Buffett will continue to serve as chairman of Berkshire’s board and has set no timeline for staying in that role.  An error occurred.

Photo: Scott Morgan/ReutersThose filling the arena in Omaha fell silent as Buffett spoke before breaking into applause. Not even Abel, who was sharing a stage with him at that moment, knew what was coming. Abel, 62, joined Berkshire through its 1999 investment in MidAmerican Energy, a Des Moines, Iowa, utility. Impressed with his successes in building out the company’s energy business, Buffett promoted Abel to vice chairman in 2018 and put him in charge of all of Berkshire’s noninsurance operations. By 2021, he was Buffett’s pick to succeed him as CEO.  “Really great talent is rare,” Buffett said. “It’s rare in business. It’s rare in capital allocation. It’s rare in almost every human activity you can name.”Buffett was just 34 when he took control of Berkshire, then a struggling New England textile maker, in the spring of 1965. Over the years, he built it into a behemoth. Berkshire operates insurance companies, utilities and a railroad, as well as household brands from Dairy Queen to Duracell. The company’s massive stock portfolio holds big chunks of Apple and American Express.As Berkshire evolved from Buffett’s investment vehicle to a sprawling conglomerate with nearly 400,000 employees, the skills required to keep the company humming changed, too. Buffett has praised Abel as both a manager and a dealmaker. <img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/249180847d7407507feac1d80b2795a9\" alt=\"Greg Abel, third from left, and Warren Buffett, sitting, at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Neb.\" title=\"Greg Abel, third from left, and Warren Buffett, sitting, at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Neb.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"516\"/>Greg Abel, third from left, and Warren Buffett, sitting, at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Neb.Greg Abel, third from left, and Warren Buffett, sitting, at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Neb. Photo: Matthew Putney/AP/Jazwares“The difference in energy level and just how much he could accomplish in a 10-hour day compared to what I could accomplish in a 10-hour day—the difference became more and more dramatic,” Buffett said. “He just was so much more effective at getting things done, making changes in management where they were needed, helping people that needed help someplace, but just all kinds of ways.“It was unfair, really, not to put Greg in the job,” he added. “The more years that Berkshire gets out of Greg, the better.”Few expected to hear those words in 2025. Many observers had thought Buffett might stay at Berkshire’s helm until he died. But Buffett said he never considered himself Berkshire’s CEO for life. “I thought I would remain CEO as long as I thought I was more useful than anybody else, in terms of being CEO,” he said. “And it surprised me, you know, how long it went.”And while his days as the CEO are now numbered, Buffett said he intends to keep working. “My health is fine, in the sense that I feel good every day,” he said. “I’m here at the office and I get to work with people I love, that they like me pretty well, and we have a good time.”<img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/80e9d66cff737cebffd88b996ebad400\" alt=\"Buffett’s speech is seen on a screen at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting. \" title=\"Buffett’s speech is seen on a screen at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting. \" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/>Buffett’s speech is seen on a screen at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting.

While Abel’s assignment in recent years has been overseeing subsidiary companies, Buffett said he is also a successful investor. A buildup in Berkshire’s enormous pile of cash and Treasurys has drawn attention lately, as observers wonder where the company will find its next deal.“He will have ideas about where money should be invested,” Buffett said.The Abel era at Berkshire begins in less than eight months. And when it does, Buffett won’t be far. He plans to keep coming into his Omaha office. “I’m not going to sit at home and watch soap operas,” he said with a laugh. “My interests are still the same.”</body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Warren Buffett Reveals He Stepped Down After Finally Feeling His Age</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWarren Buffett Reveals He Stepped Down After Finally Feeling His Age\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1012688067\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\nDow Jones \n2025-05-15 08:19\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body>Warren Buffett can’t put his finger on exactly when he decided to hand over the reins of Berkshire Hathaway to Greg Abel.  But in recent years Buffett observed just how much energy his appointed successor brought to each working day.
