Warren Buffett donated
on Friday another $6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Gates
Foundation and
four family charities, his biggest annual donation since he began giving away
his fortune nearly two decades ago.
The
donation of about 12.36 million Berkshire Class B shares boosted Buffett's
overall giving to the charities to well over $60 billion.
He
donated 9.43 million shares to the Gates Foundation; 943,384 shares to the
Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation; and 660,366 shares to each of three
charities led respectively by his children Howard, Susie, and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett
Foundation, Sherwood Foundation, and NoVo Foundation.
Warren
Buffett still owns 13.8% of Berkshire's stock, based on reported shares
outstanding.
His
$152 billion net worth prior to Friday's donations made him the world's
fifth-richest person, according to Forbes magazine.
Buffett
would rank sixth after the donations, which surpassed the $5.3 billion he
donated last June. He donated another $1.14 billion to the family charities
last November.
In a
statement, Buffett maintained he does not intend to sell any Berkshire shares.
Now 94,
Buffett began giving away his fortune in 2006.
He
changed his will last year, designating 99.5% of his remaining fortune after
his death to a charitable trust overseen by his children.
They
will have about a decade to distribute the money, and must decide where it goes
unanimously. Susie Buffett is 71, Howard Buffett is 70, and Peter Buffett is
67.
Warren
Buffett has led Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire since 1965.
The
$1.05 trillion conglomerate owns close to 200 businesses including Geico car
insurance and the BNSF railroad, and dozens of stocks including Apple and
American Express.
Susie
Buffett leads the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, which funds reproductive
health and is named for her mother, who was Warren Buffett's first wife.
The
Sherwood Foundation supports Nebraska nonprofits and early childhood education.
The Howard G. Buffett Foundation focuses on global hunger, combating human
trafficking, and mitigating conflicts. The NoVo Foundation has initiatives
focused on marginalized girls and women, and on indigenous communities.
Buffett
said last June that donations to the Gates Foundation would end when he
dies.
