Why Warren Buffett has stayed in the job he loved into his mid-90s
Briefly

Warren Buffett, age 95, will retire as Berkshire Hathaway CEO at the end of the year after roughly 60 years at the helm. Buffett transformed a failing textile mill into one of the world’s largest companies, with about 400,000 employees, a $1 trillion market value, a $300 billion stock portfolio, and major subsidiaries such as Geico, BNSF Railway, and Fruit of the Loom. Continued work often serves as personal identity and can provide mental and physical benefits by making people feel relevant, needed, and valued. Remaining in leadership can reflect ongoing energy, purpose, and visible impact, leading to prolonged careers before stepping down.
