More of a “friends and family” round if you will. Fuck all those other charities, only rich people and their kids know how to use that money.
Buffett donated 9.93 million shares to the Gates Foundation, and has donated more than $43 billion of Berkshire shares there overall.
He also donated 993,035 shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for his late first wife, and 695,122 shares to each of three charities led by his children Howard, Susan and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.
- hipadev23 2y agoThe foundations you mentioned exist to redistribute that money to other foundations and initiatives. They’re better vehicles to make grants instead of Warren/Berkshire trying to be experts on charitable donations. This is literally all public record, you can see every single grant made by each foundation.
