亿万富翁沃伦·巴菲特宣布，他将向五家不同的慈善机构额外捐赠价值60亿美元的公司股票，其中一家由比尔·盖茨运营。 巴菲特的身价仍达1520亿美元，他将向盖茨基金会和她的三个孩子控制的另外四家基金会捐赠超过1200万股伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司股票。 这是他自2006年以来最大的一笔慈善捐款，当时他承诺在去世前捐出大部分财富。 这位94岁的投资者将向盖茨基金会捐赠943万股伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司股票。 另外943,384股股票将捐赠给苏珊·汤普森·巴菲特基金会，该基金会以他2004年去世的前妻的名字命名。 最后，另外660,366股股票将分别捐赠给由他的子女霍华德、苏西和彼得领导的三个慈善机构：霍华德·G·巴菲特基金会、舍伍德基金会和NoVo基金会。 捐款将于周一正式实施。 巴菲特和比尔·盖茨于2010年创立了“捐赠誓言”，并带头号召世界各地的富豪签署捐赠誓言，捐出大部分财富，造福世界。 巴菲特于2006年首次开始捐赠时，他的伯克希尔股票占其净资产的98%。在过去的19年里，他没有买卖过任何伯克希尔股票。 巴菲特在一份声明中表示：“这五家基金会收到的伯克希尔 B 股股票价值约为 600 亿美元，远远超过我 2006 年的全部净资产。”
Billionaire Warren Buffett announced that he’ll be giving away an additional $6 billion of his company’s stock to five different charities, one of which is run by Bill Gates.
Buffett, still worth $152 billion, is donating upwards of 12 million shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Gates Foundation and four other foundations controlled by his three children.
This marks his biggest charitable contribution since 2006, when he pledged he’d give away the bulk of his fortune before he died.
The 94-year-old investor is giving 9.43 million Berkshire Hathaway shares to the Gates Foundation.
Another 943,384 shares are being directed to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, the organization named for his late ex-wife, who died in 2004.
Finally, another 660,366 shares will sent to each of the three charities led respectively by his children Howard, Susie, and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Sherwood Foundation and NoVo Foundation.
The donations will be officially made on Monday.
Buffett and Bill Gates founded the Giving Pledge in 2010 and have led the charge in trying to convince wealthy people around the world to sign on and give away the majority of their fortunes to benefit the world.
When Buffett first started making donations in 2006, his Berkshire stock represented 98 percent of his net worth. And over the last 19 years, he has not bought or sold any shares in the company.
‘The five foundations have received Berkshire B shares that had a value when received of about $60 billion, substantially more than my entire net worth in 2006,’ Buffett said in a statement.
