Warren Buffett announces his final farewell and steps down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett is stepping down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, effective immediately, and will become chairman emeritus. His son, Howard Buffett, will take over as chairman, while Greg Abel, who has been CEO since January, will continue to lead the company. Buffett, 96, had previously relinquished his executive roles at the conglomerate, and will remain a member of the board of directors.

Berkshire Hathaway has also reported significant financial moves, including a $10 billion investment in Alphabet's stock sale in June and $20 billion in purchases in the first half of the year.
