TRIVIA

Who are the longest serving CEOs of S&P 500 companies?

A) James Dimon, of JP Morgan

B) Jensen Huang, from Nvidia

C) Stephen Schwarzman, of Blackstone

D) Warren Buffett, of Berkshire Hathaway

ANSWER: 

D) Warren Buffet, who has been CEO of Berkshire Hathaway for 51 years. He is followed by Alan B. Miller, of Universal Health Services, with 42 years, and Stephen Schwarzman, of Blackstone, who has been at the helm of the investment manager for 36 years. As in other aspects of the world of large corporations, the length of time that CEOs remain in large companies has varied greatly in recent years: while in 2000 CEOs had an average of more than 10 years in the position, today they have around 5. A relevant fact, since the analysis of the companies indicates that there is a direct relationship between the greater seniority of the CEO in the position and a greater return for investors, according to visualcapitalist.
