21:08Now PlayingEditor’s Note: This interview was filmed December 19, 2025.
In this episode of Beyond the Billions, Deputy Editor Giacomo Tognini sits down with Forbes Senior Editor Chase Peterson-Withorn to go inside the life and legendary career of Warren Buffett. As the "Oracle of Omaha" prepares to step back from Berkshire Hathaway, the duo explores what it’s really like to meet the man who transformed a struggling textile mill into a global conglomerate.
With a massive $150 billion fortune and a reputation as the "billionaire’s favorite billionaire," this discussion explores the discipline and "radical simplicity" that defined Warren Buffett’s career. Chase reveals the secrets of Buffett’s investing style, his giving, and the surprisingly modest habits—like his daily McDonald's breakfast—that keep the world’s most famous investor grounded.
