เป็นเพราะปู่แก "ให้" จริงๆ
แถมชวนคนรวยทั้งหลา่ย ร่วมบริจาคเงินการกุศล
เริ่มจากตัวเองให้มูลนิธิบิลล์-ลินดา เกตส์
(เกตส์เองก็รอดจากการถูกกระหน่ำเรื่อง Microsoft ผูกขาด คนละเรื่องกันก็จริง แต่เพราะแสดงว่าไม่เห็นแก่ตัว ไม่ยึดติดกับทรัพย์สมบัติที่กินทั้งชาติก็ไม่หมดนี่แหละ )

Here are the mechanics:
Ten million B shares will be earmarked by me for BMG
contributions. (I currently own only A shares but will soon convert a number of these to
B.) In
July of every year, or such later date as you elect,
5% of the balance of the
earmarked shares will be contributed either directly to BMG or to a charitable
intermediary that will hold the earmarked shares for the benefit of BMG. To illustrate, in
2006, 500,000 shares will be contributed. In 2007,
475,000 shares (5% of the 9,500,000
remaining after the 2006 contribution) will be contributed and thereafter
5% fewer shares
will be contributed each year.
There are three conditions to this lifetime pledge. First, at least one of you must
remain alive and active in the policy-setting and administration of BMG. Second, BMG
(or any intermediary) must continue to satisfy legal requirements qualifying my gifts as
charitable and not subject to gift or other taxes. And, finally, the value of my annual gift
must be fully additive to the spending of at least 5% of the Foundation’s net assets. I
expect there to be a ramp-up period of two years during which this condition will not
apply. But beginning in calendar 2009, BMG’s annual giving must be at least equal to
the value of my previous year’s gift plus 5% of BMG’s net assets. If this amount is
exceeded in any year, however, the excess can be carried forward and be offset against a
shortfall in subsequent years. Similarly a shortfall in a given year can be made up in the
following year.
The value of Berkshire shares will, of course, vary from year to year. And, as
noted, the number of shares distributed will diminish by 5% per year. Nevertheless, I
believe that you can reasonably expect the value of Berkshire shares to increase, in an
irregular manner, by an amount that more than compensates for the decline in the number
of shares that will be distributed
ที่ให้ลูก
ยกตัวอย่างลูกชาย "HGB" Howard Graham Buffett
(แกนับถืออาจารย์ Graham ขนาดเอามาตั้งเป็นชื่อกลางลูกชาย)
แต่ก็ยังมีคนวิจารณ์ ว่าให้น้อยเกินไป... แกบอกว่าพอแล้ว เดี๋ยวเป็นง่อย หากินเองบ้าง ไม่อยากให้เป็นพวก lucky sperm club
Here are the mechanics of my pledge:
350,000 B shares will be earmarked by me
for HGB contributions. (I currently own only A shares but will soon convert a number of
these to B.) In
July of every year, beginning next month,
5% of the balance of the
earmarked shares will be contributed to HGB. To illustrate, in
2006, 17,500 shares
(currently worth more than $50 million) will be contributed. In
2007, 16,625 shares (5%
of the 332,500 remaining after the 2006 contribution) will be contributed and thereafter
5% fewer shares will be contributed each year.
The value of Berkshire shares will, of course, vary from year to year. And, as
noted, the number of shares HGB receives will diminish by 5% per year. Nevertheless, I
believe that you can reasonably expect the value of the Berkshire shares you will receive
to increase, in an irregular manner, by an amount that more than compensates for the
decline in the number of shares you will be receiving. Over time, the increase may be
substantial.
