Greg and Terri have two children: a son and a daughter. Because apparently, even billionaire CEOs have to deal with teenagers who leave lights on and ask for car keys. Their names? Gregory Jr. and Kayla. Yes, Gregory Jr. is exactly as adorable as it sounds.
Here’s where it gets fun: none of them are clamoring to take over Berkshire Hathaway. No dramatic boardroom betrayals here—just a classic “follow your own path” story. Gregory Jr. works in real estate, and Kayla is a vet. That’s right: she cures golden retrievers for a living, while her dad runs a $700 billion empire. Priorities!

Greg has never pushed them into the business. Instead, he’s encouraged them to find their own passions. “I just want them to be happy,” he once said. Which, let’s be honest, is the ultimate dad move—right up there with buying ice cream at 9 p.m. on a school night.
Family Life: It’s Not All Board Meetings
So what does a typical weekend look like for the Abel clan? Picture this: hiking in the Canadian Rockies during summer, or cheering on the Edmonton Oilers from a barstool. Greg is a die-hard hockey fan, and his kids have inherited that love. They’ve been known to trash-talk the Toronto Maple Leafs over dinner. (Barbecue, of course.)
He also loves working on his classic cars—a hobby he shares with his son. Imagine a billionaire in coveralls, elbow-deep in an engine, muttering about a loose spark plug. It’s the kind of wholesome that makes you forget he’s worth $500 million.

And yes, there’s a family dog—a labradoodle named Charlie. Because every happy family needs a hyperactive dog that sheds on the furniture. Greg reportedly gives Charlie the “good treats” and sneaks him bacon on Sundays. That’s not confirmed, but I choose to believe it.
