The Berkshire Hathaway CEO’s latest gift of more than 21.7 million shares of Berkshire Hathaway class B stock — valued at $128.98 per share at Monday’s close — decreases his personal fortune from $65.9 billion down to $63.1 billion. He slips one spot on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, moving into 4th behind clothing and real estate magnate Amancio Ortega. This years gift includes 16.59 million shares worth $2.1 billion for the Gates Foundation, the philanthropy operation of the world’s second-richest manBill Gates ($79 billion), which focuses on causes like ending world poverty, aiding U.S. schools and improving birth control technology. He also gave away $215 million to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, an organization named for his late wife that provides scholarships for education. The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation — run by his children Howard, Susan and Peter, respectively — each received gifts worth $150 million. Last year, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO donated 22.87 million shares worth $2.6 billion, including $2 billion for the Gates Foundation in addition to sizable gifts for his family’s charities. Buffett and Gates, longtime partners in giving, are the world’s most generous philanthropists as well as the leading advocates of giving to other fellow billionaires. The duo introduced the The Giving Pledge in 2010, encouraging the world’s wealthy to commit to donating at least half of their fortunes to philanthropy during their lifetime or after they die. Buffett, who has pledged to give away 99% of his fortune, has given away nearly $23 billion so far. Gates leads all givers with $28 billion.

“股神”沃倫·巴菲特再一次打破了他的個(gè)人慈善捐款記錄。據(jù)美國《福布斯》雜志網(wǎng)站7月15日?qǐng)?bào)道，當(dāng)天，巴菲特向多個(gè)慈善機(jī)構(gòu)捐出價(jià)值近28億美元的股票，超過去年的26億美元。 身為伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司的首席執(zhí)行官，巴菲特15日拿出超過2170萬份公司B類股，當(dāng)作慈善饋贈(zèng)移交給比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)等五家慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。按照當(dāng)天的股票收盤價(jià)計(jì)算，每股價(jià)格為128.98美元，巴菲特此次捐款高達(dá)近28億美元。由此，他的個(gè)人資產(chǎn)從659億美元減少至631億美元，他在“福布斯全球富豪榜”的排名也下滑一位降至第四。 據(jù)悉，巴菲特的此次大手筆饋贈(zèng)分成五份。其中，價(jià)值21億美元的1659萬份股票捐給比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)。該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)由微軟公司創(chuàng)始人比爾·蓋茨及其妻子梅琳達(dá)創(chuàng)立，旨在消除世界貧困、改善美國教育、提升生育控制技術(shù)等。 同時(shí)，巴菲特將價(jià)值2.15億美元的股票捐贈(zèng)給蘇珊·湯普森·巴菲特基金會(huì)。該基金會(huì)以巴菲特亡妻的名字命名，致力于提供教育獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金、實(shí)現(xiàn)教育平等。此外，巴菲特的三名子女——霍華德、蘇珊和彼得——各自所成立的基金會(huì)也分別獲贈(zèng)價(jià)值1.5億美元的股票。 去年，巴菲特向這幾家慈善慈善捐出2287萬份公司股票，價(jià)值26億美元，其中20億美元捐給比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)。 巴菲特和比爾·蓋茨，這兩名長期占據(jù)“福布斯全球富豪榜”前三位置的頂級(jí)富豪，也是慈善事業(yè)上的好伙伴。他們堪稱世界上最慷慨的慈善家，同時(shí)積極倡導(dǎo)其他富豪加入慈善事業(yè)。2010年，巴菲特和蓋茨發(fā)起“捐贈(zèng)誓言”活動(dòng)，號(hào)召億萬富翁生前或者死后至少用自己的一半財(cái)富來做慈善。作為表率，巴菲特承諾捐出全部財(cái)產(chǎn)的99%，截止目前他已捐出近230億美元，僅次于已捐出280億美元的蓋茨。 掃一掃，關(guān)注微博微信
