$BROCCOLI Tomorrow, December 31, 2025, marks the closing of one of the most extraordinary chapters in financial history. After nearly 60 years leading Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett is officially stepping down as CEO.$BLESS
$BB Known worldwide as the “Oracle of Omaha,” Buffett did more than outperform markets. He changed how generations think about investing, patience, and long-term wealth creation.
The Power of 19.9%
A 20% return may sound ordinary in a single year. Sustaining it for six decades is almost unheard of.
Buffett compounded Berkshire Hathaway at roughly 19.9% annually, transforming a failing textile business into a trillion-dollar conglomerate.
To put that into perspective:
A $1,000 investment in 1965 would be worth around $43 million today
One Class A share of Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.A), now priced at about $754,000, stands as the ultimate symbol of “buy and hold” conviction
This was not luck. It was discipline, patience, and compounding at work.
Defying Every Market Cycle
Consistency is the rarest skill in finance. Buffett outperformed the S&P 500 in 40 out of 60 years, surviving and thriving through:
11 U.S. recessions
The dot-com bubble
The 2008 global financial crisis
A global pandemic
While markets chased trends, Buffett focused on value, cash flow, and long-term fundamentals.
What Comes Next for Berkshire Hathaway
On January 1, 2026, Greg Abel officially takes over as CEO. He inherits a fortress balance sheet and a culture built on decentralization and trust.
Buffett often said his mission was to build a company that could “last forever.” With his departure, that vision now faces its ultimate real-world test.
This is more than a CEO retirement. It is the sunset of the most successful professional investing career in the history of capitalism.
