Warren Buffett 2025

 Warren Buffett 2025

2025年6月,華倫·巴菲特以波克夏·哈撒韋公司股票的形式向五家慈善機構捐贈了創紀錄的60億美元,這是他近二十年來最大的年度捐贈。這項破紀錄的捐贈是他長期以來承諾的一部分,即在有生之年捐出超過99%的財富。根據《富比士》報道,這筆捐款被分配給了比爾和梅琳達·蓋茲基金會信託、蘇珊·湯普森·巴菲特基金會以及他子女管理的三個基金會:霍華德·G·巴菲特基金會、舍伍德基金會和NoVo基金會。 巴菲特於2006年首次宣布他的慈善計劃,自那時起,他已捐贈超過600億美元,他指出,這遠遠超過了他最初做出承諾時的全部淨資產。根據《人物》雜誌報道,這筆最新捐款延續了他對「捐贈誓言」的承諾。 「捐贈誓言」是他與比爾和梅琳達蓋茲共同創立的活動,旨在鼓勵億萬富翁將大部分財富捐給慈善事業。 94歲的巴菲特依然是慈善界最受推崇的人物之一,這不僅因為他捐贈的規模,更因為他捐贈背後的堅持和謙遜。他從未試圖建立個人基金會,也從未將自己的名字與宏大的計畫連結在一起。相反,他默默地支持他信任的組織,希望它們能產生有意義的影響。


In June 2025, Warren Buffett made a record $6 billion donation in Berkshire Hathaway shares to five charities, marking his largest annual gift in nearly two decades. This record-breaking gift is part of his long-standing pledge to donate more than 99 percent of his wealth over his lifetime. According to Forbes, the donation was distributed among the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, and three foundations run by his children: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation, and the NoVo Foundation.

Buffett first announced his philanthropic plan in 2006, and since then he has donated over $60 billion, which he notes is substantially more than his entire net worth at the time of that original pledge. According to People, this latest donation continues his commitment to the Giving Pledge, a campaign he co-founded with Bill and Melinda Gates to encourage billionaires to give away the majority of their fortunes to charitable causes.
At 94 years old, Buffett remains one of the most admired figures in philanthropy, not just for the scale of his giving but for the consistency and humility behind it. He has never sought to build a personal foundation or attach his name to grand projects. Instead, he has quietly supported organizations he trusts to make a meaningful impact.

"823同意罷免課金額度" (許美華)



許美華

5小時 ·

雖然心情有點阿雜,但還是不能耽誤要事,今天持續火力支援823前線。


這是新北羅明才選區,新北志工高主任,為了在新店、深坑再投入一波派報文宣,來求援課金。
金額不小,我拆成兩筆,丟出五筆私訊:
「嗨我來了,請問課金額度還在嗎?」
立刻有兩位粉絲火速已讀回覆。
第一位是張先生。
「有喔!」
「知道大家還在奮戰真的太好了!」
第二位是蔡小姐@蔡圑
「在在在,請召喚我!」
「好玄哦...前幾天心情鬱悶趁台積電1175賣了100股XDDDDD
剛好奉上!!!!!」
感謝張先生和蔡小姐的快速回覆,前後不到10分鐘。
趕快去跟高主任說,「嗨嗨我火速搞定了,兩位揪團課金」,請廠商立刻開工印刷。
「太強了吧,好誇張」
我也是經常覺得粉絲好誇張XD。
在前線志工需要支援的時候,從來沒有讓他們失望過。尤其是在726的挫敗之後,課金粉絲的熱情和堅持卻沒有消退。
726之後,許多新的、舊的課金公媽都不斷浮上水面,問我還需要什麼支援,真的很令人感動。
因為張先生跟蔡小姐已經舉手,我趕快去刪掉給另外三位粉絲、還未讀的私訊。
這裡也同場報告一下:
如果排隊課金粉絲看到我刪除私訊,應該就是課金費用已經解決了。請不要掛心,如果還有需要,我一定優先回來敲你們。
謝謝大家!知道你們都在,真的太好了
