About Warren Buffett
Buffett built his investing career around Berkshire Hathaway, combining ownership of operating businesses with investments in public companies. In his 2023 shareholder letter, he described Charlie Munger’s influence on moving from inexpensive ordinary businesses toward higher-quality businesses bought at reasonable prices. He also emphasized the responsibilities that he and Munger shared toward Berkshire shareholders. Berkshire’s September 2026 announcement identifies Buffett as chairman emeritus and director, so his earlier executive leadership is historical. His shareholder writing and long association with Berkshire explain why readers often begin their company research with his name.
