I understand the structure. It would be of personal disappointment if he gives it all to “let them eat bugs” Bill Gates !Berkshire Hathaway is the company Buffet runs. The company won't be sold. His family will still retain many shares of Berkshire, and some will be given to charity, according to his past statements. Buffet, Bill Gates, and several other billionaires have pledged to give much of their wealth to charities of various types and causes - many fighting diseases, and climate change.
Greg Abel and Ted Wechsler (sp?) will run Berkshire after Buffet steps down. That's been planned for a while now.
To live a life not monetarily stressed to that level would be an amazing ride.I understand the structure. It would be of personal disappointment if he gives it all to “let them eat bugs” Bill Gates !
Not a fan, at what he put his money and other donations towards ! Just my opinion.
I hope the family can buy an island with a Lodge, a pool & a Tiki bar and enjoy the great ride that Warren gave them ! Well that’s what I would do anyway …![]()
Buffet isn't giving his money to Gates. Buffet, Gates, and a number of other ultra-rich people have pledged to give much of their fortunes away to charitable causes. None of them will leave their families destitute & struggling - make no mistake. Buffet has long said his family's money will go into an S&P 500 index to perpetuate his family's needs. He's had his plan in place for years. I think they'll be OK ......I understand the structure. It would be of personal disappointment if he gives it all to “let them eat bugs” Bill Gates !

We are very opposite politically, Gates forced vaccination ideas are terrible. Long list of strange idea he has on vaccines..Buffet isn't giving his money to Gates.

Gates has used a good amount of his money to eradicate treatable / curable diseases in 3rd world countries, and provide clean, safe drinking water in places that have none - or very little. Helping others in need - a good use of his money, in my book.

Don't have much of that one right now. The more they talk about the future of AI then you start getting all AI prospects and then the quantum starts taking off along with it. IONQ,RGTI,QBTS,QUBT all usually move together lately. Quantum will be huge but they just can't pin down the time frame on when. Some say soon and some are saying 10+ years before it's a part of daily life. Long term should be fantastic. jmhoAnyone riding the 40% surge with QBTS today? I know this stock has been discussed here..
