Profile
Who will replace the Oracle of Omaha at
the helm of Berkshire Hathaway? Warren Buffett announced in February
he'd finally made the decision, but he wouldn't give a name. In
December, he chose his farmer son, Howard, as the future non-executive
chairman and "guardian of the firm's values." New Senate legislation
requiring the rich to pay at least a 30% tax rate has been dubbed the
"Buffett Rule" in homage to
the billionaire's frequent public statements that the wealthiest should
pay more than the average Joe. His net worth is down $6 billion year on
year because of a 7% slump in Berkshire's stock. In his latest annual
letter he confessed to some mistakes, including being "dead wrong" about
a housing comeback. The son of Nebraska stockbroker met value investor
Benjamin Graham while studying economics at Columbia. Buffett took over
textile firm Berkshire Hathaway in 1965.
