    Best wishes and all. But given Berkshire's scale, and the son's age (71), questions about the next succession plan seem appropriate.

    Also, since the NYT says nothing else about the son: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Howard_Graham_Buffett" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Howard_Graham_Buffett In context, his recent involvement in local politics seems rather odd.

      71 is way past retirement age in many countries. Also didn’t know Warren Buffett is 96 already. Maybe it’s time to pass the torch to someone younger from a different generation
