Warren Buffett Stops Donations to Gates Foundation After 20 Years

Warren Buffett has halted his donations to the Gates Foundation this year. This decision appears to be related to the controversy surrounding Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation following the release of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein. On the 14th, Buffett announced that he would donate shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class B, which he owns, to four foundations run by his late wife and children, excluding the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation from the list of recipients. The amount of the donations has not been disclosed, but Buffett is one of the world's largest philanthropists, donating billions of dollars worth of stock each year. The Wall Street Journal reported that Buffett plans to decide on future donations after reviewing the results of an external investigation into the Gates Foundation. Since 2006, Buffett has donated shares annually to major charitable organizations, including the Gates Foundation, and he stated that the remaining shares will be donated to the four foundations by 2034.
