沃伦·巴菲特在周五致股东的一封信中宣布，他将卸任伯克希尔哈撒韦董事长一职。
伯克希尔哈撒韦公司表示，这位96岁的亿万富翁、传奇投资者将出任名誉董事长，并继续留任公司董事会。
据公司透露，根据一项长期继任计划，巴菲特之子霍华德·巴菲特将成为伯克希尔哈撒韦新任董事长。
“时光不等人，”巴菲特在信中写道，“但上天一直待我不薄。他给了我机会，见证伯克希尔发展到如今的地步，让我比以往任何时候都更对公司的未来充满信心。公司已交到可靠之人手中，我期待继续与各位一同做股东。”

此次卸任前数月，巴菲特刚辞去伯克希尔哈撒韦首席执行官一职，将这家跨国集团的管理权交给了他亲自挑选的继任者格雷格·阿贝尔，后者现年64岁。
巴菲特用了六十年时间，将一家濒临破产的纺织企业打造成全球最成功的企业之一。
作为伯克希尔哈撒韦的首席执行官，阿贝尔的任务是维持公司的去中心化运营模式——这是该公司的标志性特色之一，同时引领公司迈入新的增长阶段。
近年来，随着公司规模急剧扩张，寻找大规模、有意义的收购目标变得愈发困难，公司增长速度有所放缓。
巴菲特于2025年5月选定阿贝尔为首席执行官继任者，并当时就表示计划卸任首席执行官一职。
这一举措让许多投资者感到意外，因为外界普遍认为阿贝尔要等到巴菲特去世后才会接任。
Warren Buffett stepping aside as Berkshire Hathaway chairman

Warren Buffett is stepping aside as Berkshire Hathaway chairman, he announced in a letter to shareholders Friday.
The 96-year-old billionaire and legendary investor will become chairman emeritus and stay on the company’s board of directors, Berkshire said.
Buffett’s son, Howard Buffett, will become Berkshire’s new chairman under terms of a longstanding successor plan, the company said.
“Father Time always wins,” Buffett wrote in the letter. “He has, however, been generous with me. He has given me the opportunity to see Berkshire reach a point where I am more confident than ever about what lies ahead. The company is in excellent hands, and I look forward to remaining a shareholder alongside you.”

Buffett’s move came several months after he stepped down as Berkshire CEO and handed the reins of the multinational conglomerate to his hand-picked successor, Greg Abel, who is now 64.
Buffett spent six decades transforming a struggling textile manufacturer into one of the world’s most successful companies.
As Berkshire’s CEO, Abel has been tasked with upholding its decentralized model — one of the company’s hallmarks — while guiding it into a new era of growth.
In recent years, that growth has slowed as the company has ballooned in size, making it harder to find large, meaningful acquisition targets.
Buffett tapped Abel as his successor as CEO in May 2025, saying at the time that he planned to step down as CEO.
The move surprised many investors, as it was widely assumed Abel would not take over until after Buffett’s death.
