I wonder if Berkshire Hathaway should have forced Warren Buffett to retire at 60, 17 years ago.

For reference: he's more than quadrupled his investors' money in the years since he turned 60.

It would have been prudent of him to train a replacement much earlier. He still could advise but the risk of him dying suddenly and leaving the company leaderless increases with age.

Berkshire Hathaway is a private business entity, not a public government with whom we all are required to interact with.

He's 87, so that would be 27 years ago.

Thanks for the (huge) correction.

It's interesting that the vast majority of Warren's wealth came after he turned 60.

Maybe inflation is part of the reason for this
