Seems like they're splitting the responsibilities even more, Buffet will step down as CEO in this year's end. He has been a role model in many areas of my life and it hurts to see how his best friends and wife died already. would have loved seen Charlie reach 100 years old age. Visited Buffet's home in Omaha and accepted a well lived life can be one following your own set of values, specially when they do not conform to the normal. I know more about Buffet and Munger lifes than my own grandparents whom died relatively young in my childhood. Cannot explain how anything related to Charlie and Warren had hit me, I think they really feel like close wise elders in my spirit

How did you visit his home?

  Just a guess, but Buffett would often host undergrad and grad students at his home. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/warren-buffett-hosts-15-wharton-business-school-students-2015-11-30 https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/warren-buffett-hosts-15-whar...

  FWIW, in 2015 I happened to be in Omaha and I made a point to try and at least "see" it. It's just in a regular neighborhood. I parked up the street and, trying not to be too intrusive, I just walked by it. The only unusual element I saw were some ropes deliberately blocking off the driveway. From a prior news article, I was aware he employed a PSD, but I didn't see any obvious security presence on the property--likely they're very deliberately low-key.

Lucky you to have visited Buffet's house! I "visited" Buffet's house about a decade ago or so when I drove from Chicago to the Bay Area to move there. "Visited" is rather generous - I went by it, saw some security, took some selfies and pics, and paid my respects at the Steakhouse :) Now I wish I had sought an opportunity to visit him in person. Anyhow... BRKB has been in my portfolio for 20+ years. (Now dwarfed by other Tech equity)
