Here’s the fun part. Greg Abel lives in Edmonton, Canada. Not a penthouse. A house.
He drives a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Seriously. The man who oversees a $900 billion empire drives a truck you see at Home Depot.
Once, someone saw him buying his own paint at a hardware store. Not a butler. Just Greg, with a paintbrush and a billion-dollar smile.
How He Got So Rich (It’s Not Magic)
Abel started at Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He turned a small utility into a monster. Think “from a lemonade stand to a lemonade factory” scale.
He bought power plants, pipelines, and renewable energy firms. Each deal made Berkshire richer—and Abel’s stock options exploded in value.

By 2026, his net worth will compound like a snowball rolling downhill. It’s boring math. But the result is hilarious.
