Warren Buffett plans to dispose of his entire Berkshire Hathaway stake within about eight years through donations to four charitable foundations, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. The 95-year-old Berkshire chairman said he hopes his three children will complete the disposal of his shares by December 31, 2034.
Buffett converted 8,000 Class A shares into 12 million Class B shares for donation. The Sherwood Foundation, Howard G Buffett Foundation and NoVo Foundation will each receive 1 million shares, while the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation will receive 9 million shares.
