Episode notes

Explore how Berkshire Hathaway's investment under Warren Buffett's direction transitioned from safe assets to high return stocks, showcasing the unique value investing method that led to substantial wealth accumulation and the company's refusal to issue dividends since 1967.

This episode features a truncated version of a recent Behind the Money podcast as it travels to Omaha, Nebraska for Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting. At this year’s event, there’s a lingering question over what will happen once Warren Buffett is no longer at the helm. Buffett has a successor in mind, and we explore the challenges they could face when taking over America’s “last great” conglomerate.
