Special topic: Buffett's 2024 shareholders' meeting hit

May 4, 2024 local timeBet365livebaccaratAt Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders' meetingBet365livebaccaratBuffett briefly talked about Berkshire Hathaway's future without him at the helm. Buffett pointed out that although he continues to feel qualified for the job, his age is the most important.

"We will see how the next management will play this game at Berkshire, but fortunately, you don't have to wait too long," Buffett said. I feel good, but I also know a thing or two about actuarial tables. "

He added: "like some people in this world, I should not accept any four-year employment contract at an age when you are not sure where you will be in four years' time."

Mr Buffett will turn 94 in August and has named Greg Abel, vice-chairman of the non-insurance business, as Berkshire's chief executive's successor. But investors want to know whether Berkshire shares would have traded at the same valuation for a long time without Buffett at the helm to make big investment decisions.
