Warren Buffett donates $3.6bn to Gates' and family charities
Berkshire said Buffett’s 14th annual donation(第14次年度捐款)comprises about 16.81m class B shares of Berkshire.
The donation will boost the total amount Buffett has given to the charities to more than $34.5bn since the 88-year-old billionaire pledged in 2006 to give his shares away.
Buffett has since 1965 built Berkshire into a roughly $522bn conglomerate(企业集团)owning such businesses as the BNSF railroad(BNSF铁路), Geico auto insurance(Geico汽车保险) and Dairy Queen ice cream, and stocks (股票) such as Apple and Wells Fargo(美国富国银行集团).
Buffett’s largest previous annual donation(巴菲特此前最大的年度捐款) was $3.4bn in 2018.
Following the latest donation, Buffett will still own about 15.7% of Berkshire, despite having given away 45% of his 2006 holdings, and have roughly 31% of its voting power.(投票权)
Buffett remains the world’s fourth-richest person(全球第四大富豪), worth $87.5bn according to Forbes magazine(《福布斯》杂志). Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s chief executive, and his family topped Forbes’s list at $157.8bn. Berkshire invested in Amazon for the first time early this year.
The Gates and family charities(家族慈善机构) typically sell Buffett’s shares(股份) to finance their activities, reflecting his desire that money be spent. Buffett also donates to other charities.
