Here is the AI description:
"In his November 10, 2025 Thanksgiving message, Warren Buffett, 95, disclosed converting 1,800 A shares into 2.7 million B shares and immediately earmarking them for four family foundations: 1.5M to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and 400K each to the Sherwood, Howard G. Buffett and Novo foundations. He explained the practical reason for moving to B shares and the timing, citing his age and his children’s trusteeship window.
Buffett also confirmed Greg Abel as Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO effective year-end and said he will step back from public-facing duties while continuing his Thanksgiving letter tradition. The message mixes this major corporate and philanthropic news with memoir-style stories about Omaha, gratitude for those who supported him, and examples of how luck and place shaped his life.
He offered sober business warnings — especially about CEO impairment and the unintended effects of pay disclosure — and a philosophical closing: accept limits, acknowledge luck, improve steadily, and live so your obituary reflects kindness and integrity."
