Let's be honest: Warren Buffett wasn't just a CEO; he was a cultural icon who drank five Cokes a day and ate at Dairy Queen for breakfast. He ran Berkshire Hathaway for 62 years, turning a failing textile mill into a monster conglomerate worth nearly $800 billion. That’s more money than the GDP of most countries, which means he could buy all the Cherry Cokes in existence.
But at 94 years old, even the world's greatest investor has to admit that compound interest works better when you're not asleep at 3 PM. His farewell letter was vintage Buffett—full of folksy wisdom and a final jab at Bitcoin. "Bitcoin has no value," he wrote, "but my underwear collection is doing great."
