Buffett donates another $1.14 billion Berkshire stock
Nov 25 (Reuters) - Warren Buffett has made further
preparations for donating his fortune after his death.
Buffett, 94, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK/A ), is
donating nearly all of his remaining wealth, valued on Friday at
$149.7 billion according to Forbes magazine, to a charitable
trust overseen by his daughter and two sons.
On Monday, Buffett said three potential successor trustees
have been designated to serve if his daughter Susie, 71, and
sons Howard, 69, and Peter, 66, cannot serve.
He said each successor trustee is somewhat younger than his
children, well known to them and "makes sense to all of us."
Buffett also said he is donating about $1.14 billion of
additional Berkshire stock to four family foundations.
He has donated 56.6% of his Berkshire stock to the
foundations and to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since
pledging in 2006 to give away nearly all his money to charity.
The donations were worth more than $58 billion at the time
Buffett gave them, including more than $43 billion to the Gates
Foundation.
Buffett has run Berkshire since 1965.
