Recently, legendary investor Warren Buffett revealed in an interview that Berkshire Hathaway's recent major investment in Alphabet, the parent company of Google, was personally initiated by him, rather than the new CEO Greg Abel. Buffett stated that he initiated the deal and emphasized his close communication with his successor Abel. Although major decisions require mutual approval, the final decision rests with him. The 95-year-old Buffett admitted that he made the mistake of not investing in Alphabet early enough and expressed regret over missing out on the early development of this tech giant.
