94-Year-Old Warren Buffett Announces Plans to Give Away $147 Billion When He Dies

On Monday, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO announced that he had donated over $1.1 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to four family foundations, continuing a Thanksgiving tradition of generosity. Buffett, now 94, also detailed his plans for distributing the remainder of his $147.4 billion fortune after his death.

Took these photos when I was there:

Warren Buffett’s favorite steakhouse fits his modest style

Earlier this month, I went to Omaha, Nebraska to cover Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting and had the chance to eat at Gorat’s, Warren Buffett’s favorite steakhouse. Being there, it became clear why the humble stock market sage likes it so much: It doesn’t go out of its way to make a splash.

Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, drives around in a car he reportedly bought for less than $50,000. He also lives in the same house he bought for $31,500 in 1958.

In many ways, Gorat’s strikes the same modest, low-key vibe as Buffett. Nothing inside Gorat’s (except for the TV at the bar) looks too modern or feels brand new. The paintings on the walls and the furniture are not flashy, either. Everything is simple and to the point. It’s as if you were transported back to a simpler time.

Perhaps that’s on purpose.

So if he gifts away to each person living on the planet 1 billion dullarhs each.  No one would go hungry for the next 10 years or so.  Poverty would be solved overnight.    He would still have more than 95% of his gift to do with whatever he wants. 

We know it don't work cuz when only the lowest working people got a pay raise of a few bucks, inflation basically tripled in less than four years.

We'll see if it actually happens...

I'm thinking his time should be up in the next 5 years or so...
