Warren Buffett Pledges to Donate Majority of Wealth in Rare Letter Plans to Gift Over 99% of ANBLE and Millions in Berkshire Hathaway Shares

The legendary investor, Warren Buffett, known as the ‘Oracle of Omaha’, has made headlines once again with his extraordinary generosity. In a regulatory filing submitted to the SEC on November 21, Buffett revealed that he had donated millions of Berkshire Hathaway shares to four charitable trusts associated with his family. But this wasn’t just any donation; it was a whopping $866 million worth of stocks, supplementing a previous donation of $759 million made last year. Talk about a financial touchdown!

Buffett, who recently celebrated his 93rd birthday, converted 1,600 Class A shares into a mind-boggling 2,400,000 Class B shares. Out of those shares, 1,500,000 were gifted to The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, while 300,000 shares were given to The Sherwood Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and NoVo Foundation respectively. It’s safe to say that Buffett’s generosity knows no bounds.

Now, before you start wondering if he’s lost his marbles, let me assure you that Buffett is far from being out of the game. In fact, he sees himself as still playing in extra innings. In an unexpected letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, the man worth a mind-blowing $121 billion according to Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, shared his optimism and enthusiasm for the future.

Buffett’s philanthropic actions are as legendary as his financial success. Since 2006, he has donated an estimated $52 billion to various charitable causes, with a staggering $39 billion going to his friend Bill Gates’s charitable foundation. He firmly believes in using his wealth for the greater good, declaring that dynastic wealth is not desirable and that being rich doesn’t automatically make you wise or evil. As someone who has witnessed the wonders of capitalism firsthand, Buffett acknowledges its disparities but recognizes its incredible power to create positive change.

But what does the future hold for Berkshire Hathaway once Buffett is no longer around? Well, according to the man himself, the company is built to last. Despite the inevitable human errors that occur in any large organization, Buffett is confident that Berkshire Hathaway’s characteristics and behaviors will be upheld by its talented CEO and dedicated Board of Directors. He firmly believes in their ability to acknowledge and correct any mistakes that may arise along the way.
