Warren Buffett donates $37bn to charity

[B33R]

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has said he had been waiting for decades to make a huge charitable donation.

Speaking for the first time since revealing he would donate about $37bn (£20bn) to Bill Gates' charitable foundation, he said he was overjoyed.

"This has been coming for fifty years," Mr Buffett said. "There's never really been any other plan in terms of where the money should go."

The donation is thought to be the largest charitable gift ever in the US.

Just goes to show that no matter how much money you have if you look like a gommo you'll always look like a gommo.

I saw this a few days ago. It's amazing that they are willing to give up so much.

Why not? I believe Warren Buffett had $42 billion before this charitable donation. So even if he donates $37 billion, how could he possibly spend $5 billion during his lifespan? Especially when he barely spends any money, as shown by him living in a house that he bought for a mere $31,500. He has a great heart, if you ask me.
