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.
