Warren Buffett and Bill Gates remain committed to large philanthropic donations
but will no longer donate jointly. Buffett ended a 20-year practice of gifting
Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Gates Foundation this year, instead directing
donations to four Buffett family foundations, and said he plans to donate all
his Berkshire shares to those family foundations by end‑2034. He said the move
is not due to any deterioration in his relationship with Gates or reporting
about Gates and Epstein; Gates recently visited Omaha and the two remain on good
terms.
