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.) lsjm8lF7dx4 HM98J7ugjR4 RNisbeD1U7Z SgRYINDDqSC GgI7lt6fGRZ Wg0G4JOhe8n
