Greg Abel was born on January 22, 1962, which makes him a solid 63 years old as of this writing. That’s not exactly “spring chicken” territory, but in the world of billionaires, it’s practically a toddler. Warren Buffett is 93, so Greg is the youthful energy of the group—like a high school sophomore sitting next to a retired principal.
For context: the year Greg was born, the Beatles were still recording “Love Me Do,” and the first Wal-Mart store opened. He’s old enough to remember rotary phones but young enough to pretend he knows what TikTok does. Honestly, 63 is the sweet spot for a man who now controls a $900 billion empire. You’ve got wisdom, but not so much that you forget where you parked your Cessna.
The Birthday That Shares a Date With… Squirrels?
Here’s a fun fact to drop at your next dinner party: Greg Abel’s birthday, January 22, is also National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day. No, really, it’s a thing. Or, if you prefer, it’s the day in 1905 when the first blood transfusion was successfully performed. So, Greg shares a birthday with life-saving science and feline curiosity. That’s weirdly fitting for a guy who runs an insurance-and-railroad behemoth—he keeps things running, and he’s probably great at avoiding cat-related disasters.
Also, his zodiac sign is Aquarius. That means astrologically, he’s “innovative, humanitarian, and a bit unpredictable.” Translation: he might decide to buy a wind farm while eating a hot dog at a baseball game. Classic Aquarius move.
