Warren Buffett tells our own Becky Quick that his recently diagnosed Stage One prostate cancer hasn't changed Berkshire Hathaway's succession plans at all.
For several years now, the board has had someone in mind who would step in to run the company if Buffett was suddenly unable to do the job, and that someone doesn't know he's waiting in the wings. The board also has two or three other people in mind if needed.
While Buffett and his doctors are confident the cancer is treatable and not life threatening, the development is once again fueling the long-running guessing game on who will be running Berkshire Hathaway in the (Buffett hopes) far future.
Here are some of the leading candidates.
