OMAHA, Nebraska - Warren Buffett, the 93-year-old billionaire chief of Berkshire Hathaway, mulled his future in telling shareholders on Saturday that if he were lucky, he would have another six or seven years but added that"it could end tomorrow."
Buffett has run it from his hometown of Omaha since 1965. Despite Berkshire's size, its shares outgained the Standard & Poor's 500 in the last decade, though by less than they once did. Buffett navigated almost five hours of shareholder questions in a downtown arena with his successor-in-waiting Vice Chairman Greg Abel, 61.
"Warren Buffett is the greatest investor in the world," she said."Going to see him in person has a different impact from seeing him at home."As usual, thousands of shareholders lined up in the overnight hours Saturday to hear Buffett, despite rain and wind that shortened the lines. Some said people were waiting 12 hours before the arena's 7 a.m. opening.
