The official reason is actuarial: he wants all $140 billion out the door by 2034 and doesn't trust anyone involved to still have their marbles by then, so the money now firehoses into his kids' foundations instead, with the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation's cut jumping tenfold, conveniently absorbing what Gates used to get. Files drop in January, Gates testifies in June, checkbook closes in July. Officially unrelated. He also crowns Greg Abel as the only man alive he'd trust with Berkshire, casually admits the $31 billion Alphabet bet was his own idea, and blesses Kevin Warsh at the Fed. And then cracks open another Cherry Coke. (On Camera. Shareholder privileges.) cd8M0SO9Dto 8XMECiF6aGS 4Kn6MDiZr10 hgNaclcL2ky ume4yLFg2Mv 074blcNqW6g
