Subject: Brkb shares donated by Buffett since 06,
Thanks for your note and for reading the newsletter.

By my calculations, Buffett has donated a total of 411,554,214 Class B shares (post-split) to the Gates Foundation and to the four family foundations since 2006.

The current market value of those shares is around $202 billion.

We don't know exactly how many shares have been sold by the foundations or when, but generally recipients don't hold onto donated stock for very long.

Best,
Alex Crippin
