Тэрбумтан Уоррен Баффет олон жил үргэлжилсэн хандив өгөх үйл ажиллагаагаа өөрчилж, хөрөнгөө гэр бүлийнхээ санд шилжүүлэх шийдвэр гаргалаа.
Беркшир Хатэвэй компанийн тэргүүн, 95 настай Уоррен Баффет сүүлийн хорин жил орчим хугацаанд Билл ба Мелинда Гейтсийн санд хийж байсан хандиваа зогсоож байгаагаа мягмар гарагт зарлав. Тэрээр 12 сая ширхэг “Class B” хувьцааг өөрийн үр хүүхдүүдийн удирддаг дөрвөн өөр санд шилжүүлэхээр болжээ. Энэхүү багцын үнэлгээ ойролцоогоор 6 тэрбум ам.доллараар хэмжигдэж байна.
Баффет энэ удаагийн шийдвэртээ Гейтсийн сангийн талаар дурдаагүй бөгөөд хандив өгөхөө зогсоосон шалтгаанаа тайлбарласангүй. Энэхүү үйл явдал нь Майкрософт компанийг үүсгэн байгуулагч Билл Гейтсийн нэр холбогдсон Жеффри Эпштейнтэй харилцаатай байсан асуудлыг олон нийт дахин анхааралдаа авч, шүүмжилж буй үетэй давхцаж байна. Билл Гейтс Эпштейнтэй уулзаж байснаа гэмшиж буйгаа илэрхийлсэн ч ямар нэгэн хууль бус үйлдэлд холбогдоогүй гэдгээ мэдэгдсээр ирсэн юм.
2006 оноос хойш Баффет Гейтсийн санд 47 тэрбум гаруй ам.долларын хувьцаа хандивлаад байсан билээ. Тэрээр өөрийн үлдсэн хувьцааг 2034 оны арванхоёрдугаар сарын 31-ний дотор гэр бүлийнхээ дөрвөн санд бүрэн шилжүүлж дуусгана гэдгээ мэдэгдлээ. Түүний хөрөнгийн нийт үнэлгээг Форбес сэтгүүл ойролцоогоор 147 тэрбум ам.доллар гэж тооцоолсон байна.
Шинэ төлөвлөгөөний дагуу Сюзан Томпсон Баффетийн санд 9 сая хувьцаа, харин Ховард Г.Баффетийн сан, Шервуд сан болон НоВо санд тус бүр 1 сая хувьцааг шилжүүлэх юм. Эдгээр сангууд нь нөхөн үржихүйн эрүүл мэнд, дэлхий дахины өлсгөлөн, хүний наймаатай тэмцэх, болон эмзэг бүлгийн эмэгтэйчүүдийг дэмжих чиглэлээр үйл ажиллагаа явуулдаг байна.

Warren Buffett has ended nearly two decades of donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, redirecting about $6 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to four family foundations instead.
The Berkshire Hathaway chairman announced Tuesday that 12 million Class B shares would go to foundations run by his daughter, Susie, and sons, Howard and Peter, as part of his annual midyear charitable giving.
Buffett, 95, made no mention of the Gates Foundation in his announcement. The decision comes months after renewed scrutiny of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates over his past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Buffett did not explain why the Gates Foundation was omitted from this year’s gifts, and neither Berkshire Hathaway nor the Gates Foundation immediately responded to requests for comment.

Since 2006, Buffett has donated more than $47 billion in Berkshire stock to the Gates Foundation after making what he described as an “irrevocable pledge” to give away his fortune during his lifetime. His donation to the foundation alone exceeded $4.5 billion last year.
“Of course, mortality is unpredictable, but my remaining shares will be donated to the four foundations one way or the other by Dec. 31, 2034,” Buffett said in a statement outlining his long-term giving plans.
Gates has faced renewed public scrutiny since the Justice Department released documents earlier this year detailing Epstein’s contacts with prominent figures. The records included photographs of Gates with Epstein and emails involving Epstein and Gates Foundation staff.

Gates told Congress in June that he “did not fully understand the extent” of Epstein’s crimes when the two met to discuss potential philanthropic projects. Gates has not been accused of any crime and has repeatedly said he regrets meeting Epstein, denying he ever spent time with Epstein’s abuse victims or witnessed any criminal conduct.

Buffett has now donated more than half of his Berkshire holdings since launching his philanthropic campaign in 2006. Before Tuesday’s gifts, he owned nearly 14% of the company, with Forbes estimating his net worth at about $147 billion.
The latest donations include 9 million Berkshire Class B shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and 1 million shares each to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.
Buffett said the annual grants will continue to grow, with the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation receiving the largest increases. The foundation, named after his late first wife and led by his daughter, supports reproductive health initiatives.

The Sherwood Foundation backs Nebraska nonprofits and early childhood education, while the Howard G. Buffett Foundation focuses on global hunger, conflict mitigation and human trafficking. The NoVo Foundation supports programs for marginalized girls and women, as well as Indigenous communities.
