Depends on the charity

Warren Buffett é um gênio quando o assunto é ganhar dinheiro , uma mistura de sorte , técnica e puro conhecimento . Fazer todo esse bem é acender a luz da genialidade .

I mean he clearly understands he’ll never live long enough to spend half his money. He uses the system to his advantage and shares his winnings, well done!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

what Marxist coup is he supporting now

TheWallStBull 'Buffett has said he will give away more than 99% of his fortune, with the bulk going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; a charity founded by Buffett’s late wife, Susan Thompson Buffett; and charities run by each of his three children.' 🤔

Sickening but not one black foundation! One good thing the tide has turned! Black America has become aware of the bullshit and now taking action to economically control the narrative that affects our people!

Wouldn't it be great if true altruism was the most desirable thing about bringing coin like buffet does. Brazos etc, whats the game?

Balls in your court stoolpresidente

Someone still gonna complain
