Warren Buffett has confirmed he will no longer be donating to the Gates Foundation. The decision comes in light of disclosures concerning Bill Gates' interactions with the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

Instead, Buffett intends to redirect approximately $6 billion of his Berkshire Hathaway stock to four family foundations managed by his children.

This marks a significant shift for the 95-year-old investor who had previously pledged generous support to the Gates Foundation since 2006. Despite receiving over $47 billion, Buffett will conclude his giving by 2034 without further contributions to Gates.
