Warren Buffett’s oldest son, Howard, has finally found a way to make him proud. The younger of his two sons, Howard has long lived in the shadow of his older brother, Peter. While Peter has been working for Buffett’s conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, for many years, Howard has instead chosen to forge his own path. However, Buffett recently revealed that Howard has decided to join the company after all, and is set to start at the company’s wholesale cluster in August.
The younger Buffett will be responsible for overseeing two of the company’s biggest retail chains, Convenience and Certosa. This is a massive opportunity for Howard, and one that is likely to make his father proud. The move also shows that even as the elder Buffett’s empire continues to grow, his commitment to the next generation remains strong.
Buffett has long talked about his desire to leave a lasting legacy. With his sons playing an increasingly important role in the company, it’s likely that this will be more than just a distant dream for the billionaire.
