Warren Buffett said he decided not to put the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in his charity plan.
沃倫·巴菲特說,他決定不把比爾及梅琳達·蓋茨基金會放入他的慈善捐贈計劃。
The main reason is his belief. His three children are ready to give away all his money.
主要原因是,他相信自己的三個孩子已經準備好處理他所有財富的捐贈。
He told CNBC that Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was "disgusting."
他告訴CNBC,比爾·蓋茨與杰弗里·愛潑斯坦的關係「令人反感」。
Epstein was a convicted sex offender.
愛潑斯坦是一名已被定罪的性犯罪者。
But Buffett said Gates' actions were not very different. They were like his own mistakes in hiring or making friends.
但巴菲特說,蓋茨的行為和他自己在僱人或交友上的錯誤沒有太大差別。
Buffett said he read a lot about the contact between Gates and Epstein.
巴菲特說,他讀了很多關於蓋茨和愛潑斯坦之間往來的資料。
He pointed out that Gates finally ended that relationship.

Buffett said Gates was not surprised by his decision announced on Tuesday.
巴菲特說,蓋茨對他週二宣布的決定並不感到意外。
The decision is that Buffett will give his remaining 140 billion dollars. This stock is from Berkshire Hathaway. It will go to his family foundation.
這個決定是,巴菲特最終會把他剩下的1400億美元伯克希爾·哈撒韋股票捐給他的家族基金會。
A few weeks ago, Gates flew to Omaha. He talked with Buffett for a few hours.
幾週前,蓋茨飛到奧馬哈,和巴菲特談了幾個小時。
Gates called Buffett "one of the greatest philanthropists of all time."
蓋茨稱巴菲特是「有史以來最偉大的慈善家之一」。
He said he hopes to spend more time with Buffett in the future.
他說,他希望未來能有更多時間和巴菲特在一起。
The Gates Foundation will still have big resources.

Its endowment is worth nearly 90 billion dollars.

Buffett said in a CNBC interview that he recently broke his leg and had surgery.

But he is recovering well.
但他恢復得很好。
He hopes his Berkshire stock will be given away faster by the end of 2034.
他希望他的伯克希爾股票能在2034年底前更快地分配完。
So, he must greatly increase his yearly giving to over 17 billion dollars.
所以,他必須把每年的捐贈金額大幅增加到超過170億美元。
Now, he gives about 6 billion dollars each year to his family foundation.
現在,他每年向家族基金會捐贈大約60億美元。
He filed papers with the SEC. The papers show he gave away 12 million B shares the day before.
他已向美國證券交易委員會提交文件,顯示前一天捐贈了1200萬股B類股票。
Buffett's faster giving plan means his successor Greg Abel cannot rely on the Buffett family. The family will not be the biggest shareholder for long.
巴菲特加速捐贈計劃,意味著他的繼任者格雷格·阿貝爾將無法長期依靠巴菲特家族作為最大股東的支持。
But Buffett still believes Abel is the right person to lead.
但巴菲特仍然相信,阿貝爾是合適的領導人選。
