Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) annual meeting this year marks a milestone - it's Warren Buffett's 50th year of controlling the massive conglomerate. During that half century, the per-share market value of Berkshire stock has gained more than 1,800,000%. The 84-year-old Buffett still hopes to grow his company through acquisitions and has given no indication he plans to retire anytime soon. In his fifty years at the helm, many Berkshire shareholders have become millionaires and are devoted admirers of Buffett. TheStreet's Rhonda Schaffler talked with shareholders about their views of the billionaire known as The Oracle of Omaha.
