Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, a role he held since 1965, and will be replaced by his son Howard Buffett as part of a long-term succession plan. This follows Buffett’s earlier resignation as CEO in May 2025, which surprised many at the time. Buffett announced his decision in a letter to shareholders, emphasizing that while time always wins, he felt confident about the future of Berkshire under Howard’s leadership. Buffett will remain on the board of directors and retain the title of honorary chairman. Greg Abel, who became CEO in June 2023, stated that Buffett’s legacy and values will continue to guide the company. Buffett, known as the 'Oracle of Omaha,' is one of the most successful investors in history, with an estimated net worth of $144.7 billion.
