Bill Gates' Foundation Was Snubbed by Warren Buffett for the First Time in 20 Years. Buffett Is Now on Track to Offload His Entire $140 Billion Berkshire Stake by 2034.
Yahoo Finance ·
Warren Buffett is one of the world's most famous investors. Although he was technically the CEO of industrial conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway ( BRKA 0.18% ) ( BRKB 0.42% ) , it was his investment approach that really grew the business. Essentially, he used the company as an investment vehicle, buying entire companies and large stakes in publicly traded stocks. He has handed the CEO role to a handpicked successor, Greg Abel. But Buffett may be making Abel's job more difficult over the long term with the changes he is making to his giving plans. Here's what you need to know. Buffett's ownership of Berkshire Hathaway totals around $140 billion. The company's market cap is roughly $1.05 trillion, so Buffett alone controls around 13% of the giant company. That's a big position, and it gives the former CEO a strong voice in corporate decision-making. To be fair, he's the chairman of the board of directors, so he has a strong voice anyway. But large shareholders often have to be consulted when big decisions are made. This is where the shift away from giving shares to the Bill Gates Foundation comes into play. Unfortunately, Bill Gates has been caught up in the Epstein scandal, and Buffett has been distancing himself from the former Microsoft ( MSFT 1.67% ) CEO. So instead of donating Berkshire shares to Bill Gates' foundation, Buffett is donating the rest of his Berkshire stake to foundations run by his children.
