Buffett cuts Gates Foundation from $6bn Berkshire stock donation, citing Epstein probe
Warren Buffett redirected all 9 million Class B Berkshire shares—worth about $6 billion—to four family‑linked foundations, omitting the Gates Foundation for the first time since 2006. He said the move follows a Wall Street Journal report on the foundation’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions about donor vetting and future philanthropic flows.
