🇺🇸 WHO IS GREG ABEL? BUFFETT’S CHILL BILLION-DOLLAR RIGHT-HAND MAN
Warren Buffett just shocked shareholders by announcing he’s stepping down—and wants Greg Abel to take over as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.
So who’s this low-key legend?
Abel’s a Canadian-born accountant who used to play hockey and now runs basically everything at Berkshire that isn’t insurance.
He joined in 2000 when Buffett bought a small Iowa utility.
Abel turned it into Berkshire Hathaway Energy, now the top wind energy producer in the U.S.
In 2018, Buffett made him Vice Chairman.
Abel’s known for being sharp, calm, and deeply trusted by Buffett and Berkshire’s top managers.
No drama, no ego—just results.
He lived a few blocks from Buffett in Omaha in the ’90s, but they never met.
Now? He’s taking the wheel.
He won’t have Buffett’s name or stockpile—but he’s got the job, the trust, and the receipts.
