Why Warren Buffett matters beyond Wall Street
Briefly

Thousands gathered in Omaha to honor Warren Buffett as he announced his retirement at the age of 94, reflecting on his legacy as a trusted investor. Known as the "Oracle of Omaha", Buffett transformed Berkshire Hathaway from a struggling textile mill into a global business giant over 60 years. His investment philosophy made 'value' investing accessible, earning him the respect and loyalty of shareholders worldwide who flock to annual meetings that feel like a celebration of ethics in business.
"One of the great pleasures in this business is having people trust you. Why [else] work at 90, when you've got more money than anybody could count?"
"It's spiritual and morally uplifting. I think it's remarkable to hear Warren talk about what business and society and values should be."
