Buffett’s Berkshire Bet Is A Landmark
Boloor said that a $10,000 investment made on May 10, 1965, at roughly $15 per share is now worth an estimated $485 million.
This underscores the power of compounding returns and long-term investing.
Berkshire’s Transformation Underway
After serving Berkshire since 1965, Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO at the end of 2025. Greg Abel is the new CEO in 2026.
During the annual shareholder meeting in 2025, Buffett made clear that Abel’s value lies not in flashy leadership traits but in his ability to preserve the company’s unique culture of trust, disciplined capital allocation, and long-term thinking.
Buffett described Berkshire as an extraordinary business ecosystem built over decades, one that cannot easily be replicated.
Greg Abel’s Next Big Test
