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.
Never even heard of her before, but good for her. She pulled out of a series of festivals that she was scheduled to headline
“I’m not dealing with the threats and I’m not putting on a fucking hijab,” she further raged.
“They’re both basically trying to extort me – by insinuating that I need to say I support Palestine or they will drop me from the gig BUT I would much rather drop them and not associate with anything that has cheap group think bullshit attached to it,” Banks’ incredibly based post continues.
“More thinly veiled racism And overt antisemitism from the fucking gays for Hamas,” Banks further claimed, adding “#FUCKPALESTINE” at the end of the post.
And no, I’m not saying fuck actual Palestine. But fuck your dumb ass slogans and performative bullshit. Yall wanna make a stance so bad but stand for absolutely nothing. As soon as the media says pedophilia is “natural and normal,” You bitches will be right there talking about #PEDOPHILERIGHTS Like be fucking forreal. That war has been going on in the background for fucking decades . Way before anyone alive today was born And all of a sudden yall are throwing around words like genocide and Zionist not even knowing the meaning of those words While you drive around in ur teslas and leave comments from your iPhones all built off the backs and the blood of children working in mines from dusk til dawn There is zero ethical consumption under capitalism. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING. I’m going to enjoy the rest of my summer and make music It’s time for a new ab record. I don’t need to be on stage stressing out to appease some dumb ass protesters who literally rely on those people in Palestine being crushed so they can solicit donations they DO NOT give to the cause.
“We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” wrote Barrett, the court’s second-newest justice, in a jaw-dropping rebuke of her colleague, the newest justice.
“We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”
