巴菲特修改遺囑,1300億美元資產留給兒女打理
當地時間6月28日,伯克希爾哈撒韋的一份聲明顯示,巴菲特將再捐贈價值約53億美元的伯克希爾哈撒韋B類股票給比爾和梅琳達·蓋茨基金會和四個家族慈善機構,這是他自2006年開始捐贈以來最大的年度捐贈。
此外,當地時間6月28日,美國《華爾街日報》刊發了對“股神”、美國著名投資人沃倫·巴菲特的專訪文章。訪談中巴菲特明確指出,他去世後,不再會有資金直接流向蓋茨基金會。同時,這筆鉅額財富將轉由他的子女管理,用於新成立的基金會,專注於慈善事業。
巴菲特提到,儘管他曾承諾每年將5%的伯克希爾股份捐給蓋茨基金會直至去世,但他的子女將不會繼續這一做法。
據蓋茨基金會統計,2006年到2023年期間,巴菲特向該基金會捐贈了393億美元。週五他還宣佈向蓋茨基金會等慈善機構捐贈幾十億美元。
關於此次遺囑決定,巴菲特透露並非一時興起,他已經多次修改過遺囑,在看到孩子們變得更加成熟後,他制定了目前的計劃。此外,他並未給子女規定具體的慈善方向。
他在採訪中説:應該用這些錢去幫助那些不像我們這麼幸運的人。世界上有80億人,而我和我的孩子們處在最幸運的千分之一。有很多方式可以幫助他人。
儘管2006年以來巴菲特已捐贈超過半數的伯克希爾股票,但他仍持有約1/7的流通股。根據福布斯的富豪榜單,巴菲特排名全球第8,擁有1330億美元的財富。
財報顯示,截至今年3月底,伯克希爾公司持有價值超過3360億美元的股票,其中蘋果公司的股票佔到40%以上。
此前在致股東信中,巴菲特曾表示已經93歲了,感覺很好,但充分意識到正在打加時賽。這引發了外界對這位投資界傳奇老人身體狀況的關注,對於近期自身的身體狀況,巴菲特説:“我的醫生吿訴我,我的健康狀況非常好,我確實感覺我身體很好。”
