Billionaire Warren Buffett is viewed as one of the world’s greatest investors, so his annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are always read closely for lessons.

Warren Buffett is celebrating the successes of Berkshire Hathaway’s companies last year and in the 60 years since he took over a struggling New England textile company and began converting it into a massive conglomerate.

This year’s Berkshire Hathaway meeting gave shareholders their best chance yet to hear from the man who will one day take over as CEO when Warren Buffett is gone.

Everyone knows Warren Buffett’s successor won’t be able to match the legendary investor.

Warren Buffett credited his longtime partner — the late Charlie Munger — with being the architect of the Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate he’s received the credit for leading and warned shareholders in his annual letter not to listen to Wall Street pundits or financial advisers who urge them to trade often.

A longtime Berkshire Hathaway board member says investors shouldn't expect a change of leadership at the top of the conglomerate anytime soon.

Billionaire Warren Buffett assured investors Wednesday that Berkshire Hathaway will be fine when he's no longer around to lead the conglomerate because Vice Chairman Greg Abel will do a great job and the conglomerate's basic model won't change.

Billionaire Warren Buffett’s successor bought nearly $70 million worth of stock in the conglomerate he is slated to one day lead.

Warren Buffett's company has reported a $43.76 billion loss in the second quarter as the paper value of Berkshire Hathaway’s investments plummeted and he bought significantly fewer stocks.

Billionaire Warren Buffett says his company has benefited from some “extraordinary luck” in finding acquisitions, but he hasn’t had much of that in recent years as Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile has grown to nearly $147 billion.

Vice Chairman Greg Abel will succeed billionaire Warren Buffett as Berkshire Hathaway CEO, according to a report.
