Warren Buffett Turns 95 Today. 10 of His Biggest Investing Lessons.
Warren Buffett celebrates his 95th birthday on Saturday—marking a milestone of longevity and leadership at Berkshire Hathaway.
Buffett plans to step down as Berkshire CEO at year’s end after 60 years at the helm. He leaves an extraordinary legacy as an investor and manager.
He took control of a struggling textile company in 1965 and has turned it into the world’s largest conglomerate with a market value of over $1 trillion and annual after-tax operating earnings of about $45 billion.
Here are 10 lessons, or takeaways, from his long career. Investors may not agree with some or many of them, but they are worth considering.
He told shareholders at Berkshire’s annual meeting in May that he also plans to be in the office daily in 2026—not surprising for someone who said a few years ago that he was “always on the clock” for Berkshire.
Berkshire investors are hoping he stays on the clock for at least several more years.
Happy birthday, Warren Buffett.
