Howard Buffett is Warren Buffett’s son; he has stepped into Berkshire Hathaway’s chair role as chair emeritus succeeds, shaping the family’s leadership succession.
Warren Buffett has redirected about $6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock away from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to four family foundations and has accelerated plans to distribute his remaining Berkshire shares by Dec. 31, 2034. He has said he reviewed Bill Gates’s testimony about Jeffrey Epstein and has met Gates in Omaha since those documents were released.
Warren Buffett has become chairman emeritus of Berkshire Hathaway and will remain on the board. His son, Howard G. Buffett, has become the company's chairman while Greg Abel continues as CEO. The move completes a long-planned succession that began when Abel took over as CEO earlier this year.
