Greg Abel just took over a $1 trillion empire from Warren Buffett. His first job paid 5 cents per glass bottle.
Abel is a Canadian CPA who climbed inside Berkshire for 27 years running its energy business before becoming CEO on January 1st, 2026.

The real questions, will he deploy Berkshire's cash pile, lean further into tech, and hold the Omaha faithful without Buffett on stage?
