They wait in the rain to see Warren Buffett. Will they still flock to Omaha when he’s gone?

As dawn broke over Omaha, fans of Warren Buffett gathered early and in the rain for a chance to see the legendary investor at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting. Known as "Woodstock for Capitalists," this event draws thousands, contributing significantly to Omaha's economy. With Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger's era nearing its end, there's concern about whether the future leadership will attract the same level of interest and economic benefit to the city. Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, is set to take over, leaving many wondering if the unique allure of these meetings will persist without Buffett's charismatic presence.
