Warren Buffett Sets Up New Trust As He Turns Away From Gates Foundation
Warren Buffett Sets Up New Trust As He Turns Away From Gates Foundation
Warren Buffett has come up with a new plan for where his billions of dollars will go after his death.
禾倫·巴菲特制定了一項新計劃，決定把他數十億美元的財富追隨他的去世去向。
Since 2006, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK)(NYSE:BRK) has made annual gifts to the Gates Foundation (formerly known as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) and four other foundations connected to the Buffett name, and he will continue doing that while he is still alive.
自2006年以來，伯克希爾·哈撒韋股份有限公司（NYSE：BRK）的主席兼首席執行官捐贈了一些基金會，其中包括蓋茨基金會（前身爲比爾和梅林達·蓋茨基金會）和四個其他與巴菲特名字相關的基金會，並且他會在他還活着的時候繼續這樣做。
But that will change upon his death, the Wall Street Journal reported.
但是，《華爾街日報》報道稱，在他去世後，情況將會發生變化。
Buffett, 93, has decided that no more money will be given to the Gates Foundation after he passes away and nearly all of his remaining fortune will instead get funneled into a new charitable trust run by his daughter and two sons.
93歲的巴菲特已經決定，在他去世後，蓋茨基金會不會再得到更多的捐贈，他所剩下來的財富將幾乎全部進入一個由他的女兒和兩個兒子運行的新慈善信託基金會。
"The Gates Foundation has no money coming after my death," Buffett told the Journal.
“蓋茨基金會在我的死後沒有任何錢可得，”巴菲特告訴《華爾街日報》。

Buffett, who has given away more than half of his Berkshire shares since taking control of the firm in 1965 but still holds almost $130 billion in company shares, is leaving it to his children to decide unanimously what philanthropies will receive his remaining fortune after his death.
自1965年掌管公司以來，巴菲特已經捐贈了超過一半的伯克希爾股份，但仍持有近1300億美元的公司股票，他將把剩餘的財富留給他的孩子們，由他們一致決定哪些慈善機構會在他去世後得到這筆財富。
"It should be used to help the people that haven't been as lucky as we have been," he told the Journal. "There's eight billion people in the world, and me and my kids, we've been in the luckiest 100th of 1% or something. There's lots of ways to help people."
他告訴《華爾街日報》：“它應該用於幫助那些沒有像我們這樣幸運的人們。世界上有80億人，而我和我的孩子們，我們已經成爲了最幸運的1%或其他什麼。有很多方法可以幫助人們。”
Susie Buffett, 71, lives in Omaha and chairs the Sherwood Foundation, which promotes early childhood education and social justice. She also chairs the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for her late mother, Buffett's first wife, who died in 2004.

The Gates Foundation Trust is receiving Class B shares worth about $4 billion as of Thursday's closing price, while the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation is receiving about $400 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.
據《華爾街日報》報道，蓋茨基金會信託基金已獲得大約40億美元的B類股票，而Susan Thompson Buffett基金會獲得約4億美元，巴菲特女兒和兒子的基金會各獲得逾2.8億美元的股票。一個A類股份相當於1,500個B類股份的所有權，而A類股份在投票權上具有更大的優勢。
The foundations of Buffett's daughter and sons are each receiving more than $280 million in shares. One Class A share carries the ownership stake of 1,500 Class B shares, and A shares have an even greater advantage in voting power.
