Berkshire Hathaway BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Warren Buffett has been making major headlines as he transitions out of leading Berkshire Hathaway after more than six decades at the helm. Fortune reports that few investors actually follow Buffett's investment strategy because, as the retiring CEO himself puts it, no one wants to get rich slow. That philosophy is about to become someone else's problem as Greg Abel takes over as the new chief executive at year's end.In a significant letter to shareholders posted on Berkshire's website on November 10th, Buffett revealed he's "going quiet." NASDAQ reports that he'll no longer write the annual shareholder letter, a tradition dating back to 1977, and will stop talking endlessly at the legendary annual meeting that draws nearly 20,000 devotees to Omaha each May. However, there's good news for Buffett followers: he plans to communicate via an annual Thanksgiving message, which he started last year.Despite stepping back from public duties, Buffett remains actively engaged in investment decisions. GOBankingRates reports that after 82 years of investing, Buffett has made eleven noteworthy stock purchases in 2025. His biggest moves include a billion-dollar-plus position in Constellation Brands, an 800 million dollar stake in homebuilder Lennar, and an 860 million dollar bet on steelmaker Nucor. He's also added to positions in Pool Corporation, Domino's Pizza, and Sirius XM, which pays a hefty five percent dividend.Most intriguingly, Economic Times highlights that Berkshire made an unusually modern investment in Alphabet, buying 17.8 million Class A shares in the third quarter, bringing the position to nearly 5.35 billion dollars. This move reignites questions about whether the famously cautious Buffett is becoming more comfortable with AI-driven growth stocks, something he long avoided. The position has already surged 415 million dollars in value in just one week as Alphabet shares climbed 8.4 percent.Regarding his role going forward, NASDAQ notes that Buffett intends to keep a large amount of voting Class A Berkshire shares until shareholders are confident Abel is the right person for the job. He's expressed hope that Abel will lead for at least several decades, ideally needing only five or six CEOs over the next century. The transition marks a watershed moment for one of investing's most influential figures, even as uncertainty lingers about how dramatically Berkshire might change under new leadership.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
