Warren Buffett Donates $6 Billion in Berkshire Shares to Five Charities #stockmarket #donate

In one of the largest philanthropic gestures of his lifetime, Warren Buffett has donated approximately $6 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway shares to five charitable foundations. To facilitate the donation, the 94-year-old investing icon converted more than 8,200 Class A shares into 13.4 million Class B shares—making it his largest annual contribution since initiating his giving plan in 2006. The majority of the donation, around $4.6 billion, was allocated to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, continuing Buffett’s longstanding support for global health and development. The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named in honor of his late wife, received approximately $460 million, while the remaining amount was equally divided among three family-run organizations: the Sherwood Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and the NoVo Foundation, each receiving about $320 million worth of stock.With this year’s contribution, Buffett’s total lifetime giving has now surpassed $60 billion. Despite his extraordinary generosity, he continues to hold approximately 198,000 Class A shares of Berkshire Hathaway, retaining a net worth estimated at $145 billion, with over 99% of his wealth still tied to the company. Before the donation, he ranked as the fifth richest person in the world and is expected to drop to sixth position post-donation. In a public statement, Buffett credited his wealth to “sound investing, the American economic system, and the power of compounding,” rather than any single defining moment. He reaffirmed his commitment to philanthropy, pledging to donate 99.5% of his estate after his death under the Giving Pledge initiative. This monumental act reflects Buffett’s steadfast belief in wealth redistribution and marks a significant milestone in the history of global philanthropy.
