Buffett to begin disbursing fortune to Gates Foundation
Warren Buffett announces he will donate the bulk of his about 44 billion dollar fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation starting next month through annual stock gifts. The move reverses years of plans to leave wealth to philanthropies after death and will boost Gates Foundation assets beyond 29 billion. Gates plans to shift from daily duties at Microsoft in 2008 to focus on his foundation, a leader in global health efforts including HIV, malaria and tuberculosis. Buffett, 75, leads Berkshire Hathaway and had been expected to leave Berkshire stock to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation.
