 Buffett pledged to donate 99% of it to charity, including the Buffett Family Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the last decade, the billionaire has given away much of his net worth to total an estimated lifetime donation of $21.5 billion. “I want to give my kids just enough so that they would feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they would feel like doing nothing,” the business tycoon wrote in a letter to the Gates Foundation.
