Investors, media, and high-profile members of the investment community descended on Omaha, Nebraska, this weekend for Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting.
CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Charlie Munger sat on stage, and fielded questions from investors of all ages.
The event has come to be celebrated in more ways like a sporting event than a stuffy meeting of executives and the shareholders they have to answer to.
A longtime shareholder who requested anonymity submitted a question about Berkshire's succession plans, asking if the 88-year-old Buffett and 95-year-old Munger would "ever consider having Greg and Ajit" join them on stage at future meetings so they could also be questioned about their thinking.
"That's probably a pretty good idea, and we've talked about it," Buffett responded. "We have Greg and Ajit here, and any questions that anybody wants to direct to them, it's very easy to move them over. So we thought about having four of us up here, and this format is not set in stone at all."
Aside from the succession plans, there were inquiries about Wells Fargo's troubles, Buffett's most "fun" investment, and unprofitable companies. Munger even doubled down on his view on bitcoin, and Buffett waded into politics.
And there were, of course, cans of Coca-Cola and boxes of See's Candies peanut brittle sitting atop the executives' table on stage.
