Warren Buffett's Death Rumors and the Real Retirement Announcement. Did you see the news that Wallen Buffett has passed away ? In fact, he has been suffering from health issues and rumors of his death for several years . In internet communities and investment YouTube channels, it was said that Puppet did not attend the general shareholders' meeting .
There are no recent photos. Rumors circulated that Puppet had died but was hiding it, and even fake obituaries were on the run. But every time, he steadfastly remained alive. I cracked a joke at Ohma's annual general meeting and clearly explained the reasons for investing in Apple and the Japanese company.
And in May 2025, Puppet finally announced his retirement with his own mouth. I intend to stop now. I have done enough in my life, and now it is time to pass the torch to the next generation. He led Berkshire Hathaway for over 60 years, serving as a mentor to investors worldwide and a living legend. However, he has now decided to hand everything over to a successor he personally selected .
This scene is not merely a retirement announcement. It was a historic moment marking the departure of a man named Warren Buffett and the end of an era . There was no lingering regret in his words either . The company will run smoothly even if I leave. Because that is what a real leader should do. Now there is only one question left.
What was he holding onto until the very end ? The last item Puppet held onto until the end . Even as he announced his retirement, Wallen Buffett kept most of his portfolio intact. He maintained his philosophy of never selling this company until the very last moment. Among them, Apple stands out by far.
Puppet once stayed away from the IT sector, saying he didn't know much about tech stocks, but he was convinced about Apple. He said this. Apple is not a technology company, but a consumer brand. Products that people carry around and use every day. That is the real competitive edge. Apple was not just a simple investment target, but his most cherished flagship stock.
At one point, Puppet trusted Apple enough to account for nearly 40% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio . Another item is American Express. This stock, which has been held since 1960, symbolizes Buffett's philosophy of trust-based consumption. People choose a brand they trust even when using a single card .
That's Amex. In addition, stocks like Moody's and Coca-Cola, which he had never sold even once in decades, remained intact. These stocks are not merely assets, but the result of the beliefs that symbolize Warren Buffett's investment life . The stocks he held onto until the very end, and the philosophy contained within them, have now been left intact to his successor and us investors.
Next, to understand why he came to choose such companies, we must delve into Warren Buffett's investment life itself. As the beginning of a legend. 3. The 11-Year-Old Investment Boy, The Man Who Built Cheonju Corporation (Revised Edition). Wallen Buffett's first stock investment was when he was 11 years old.
At the time, he purchased 3 trillion shares of a utility company called City Service at $38 per share. Soon the stock price dropped to $27, and Buffett spent several nights agonizing over the anxiety. Then, as soon as the stock price recovered to $40, I sold it immediately. However, not long after, the stock surpassed $200.
Puppet learned one lesson from this experience . Hastiness is the enemy of profit. Good companies always return. After that, Buffett began learning the flow of money firsthand while selling gum and distributing Coca-Cola starting from his middle school days . At the age of 17, he earned $5,000 through newspaper delivery and a small business, and with that money, he bought a used slot machine, installed it in a barbershop, and received a share of the profits every month.
It can be said that he already had a sense of cash flow from that time on. In his 20s, he met Benjamin Graham and began to fully embrace the philosophy of investing together . Graham opened Buffett's eyes to see the intrinsic value of a company. Buffett said this. Price is what you pay, and value is what you get .
Based on this philosophy, Buffett acquired insurance companies, accumulated cash, and reinvested that capital in blue-chip companies for the long term, thereby building up the power of compound interest . As a result, Berkshire Hathaway, which started in a small office, has grown into a massive investment empire with a market capitalization of approximately 1,000 trillion won as of 2025, which is referenced by investors worldwide .
However, what Buffett left behind was not just money. What he truly left behind was a philosophy of trust, patience, principles, and welfare. And now, who will carry on that philosophy ? We must pay attention to his successor. 4. Can We Trust the Successor, Greg Abel? The message Wall and Buffett emphasized most when announcing their retirement was that all preparations were already complete .
The successor he personally designated is Greg Abel. He is the vice president who has overseen Berkshire Hathaway's non-insurance division and joined the company when American Energy was acquired by Berkshire in 2000 . He is from Canada and is known for his quiet and practical nature . Puppet watched him from the side for a long time and concluded that this person could carry on my philosophy exactly .
Charlie Munger also said in 21 that if we leave, Greg Abel will lead the company. In fact, the successor had been confirmed internally since then . Craig Abel has steadily grown Berkshaw's core non-insurance businesses, including energy infrastructure manufacturing and distribution . He is strong with numbers and makes quick decisions; above all, he is a person who has fully internalized Buffett's investment philosophy and his hands-free management style .
However, the market's perspective remains complex. Because the presence of Puppet was so overwhelming, there are concerns about whether Greg Abel can fill that void. The only thing that is clear is that Puppet had chosen his successor in advance and had been training him for decades. That might be one of the most practical legacies Wallen Pitt left behind .
Now the question changes. Now that the puppet is gone, whom should we follow? The fact that Wallen Buffett is leaving is not simply the retirement of a business executive . It is the disappearance of a single coordinate that tens of millions of investors around the world relied on . He always spoke with the simplest and clearest voice in an uncertain market.
Buy a good company cheaply and keep it for a long time. Compound interest is a miracle created by time. Investing is a battle of personality rather than intelligence. Such principles were a key factor in keeping investors grounded, even in today's highly volatile market . Now that he has stepped out, many people ask themselves.
So now, whom should we trust and invest? YouTubers who provided short-term profits, massive AI algorithms, or the blind flood of economic news. In fact, the true similarity Buffett left behind is not a message to follow a specific person. He always said to become an investor who thinks for themselves and makes their own decisions.
Wallen Buffett has passed away, but the philosophy he left behind is still alive. And only those who embrace that philosophy will be able to walk their own path without wavering in the future market . Finally, let's take a look at what his true legacy is . That similarity was not money or stocks, but something deeper and heavier .
6. Buffett's last notable trait is not the numbers; many people remember him as the god of investment who earned hundreds of billions of dollars. However, he himself said this about money . I did not do the eating to make money . I just needed money to continue playing the game I liked. What he truly left behind is not the numbers printed on the account, but the mindset and philosophy behind how those numbers were created .
A constant attitude of learning. The mind to remain calm when others are excited. The eye for finding companies that will still exist 10 years from now, and the attitude of never compromising one's principles no matter how much temptation comes—all of this is Buffett's legacy, and he has proven it not with words, but with actions.
He donated most of his fortune during his lifetime and told his successors to inherit his philosophy rather than money. In the end, after Wallen Buffett left, there is only one question left for us. With what philosophy do you view the market ? Poppit has left, but his voice is still ringing in our heads .
Look at the machine. Find opportunities when others are afraid. And above all, believe in yourself. So far, together with Invest GPT, we have looked into the retirement issue of Warren Buffett, the greatest investor in history . Personally, I also consider Puppet a role model and will constantly strive to learn from him .
If you also learn Wallen Buffett's investment methods, you will never fail. Then, see you again next time. Goodbye.
