Warren Buffett donated $6 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to five foundations, increasing his total donations since 2006 to roughly $60 billion. The largest recipient is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust. This donation consists of nearly 12.4 million Class B shares. Buffett previously announced he'd cease donations to the Gates Foundation after his death, leaving his children to manage his remaining fortune.
