Billionaire Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet has talked about mortality in a recent letter to shareholders of the company.
He said, “Father time always wins, But he can be fickle — indeed unfair and even cruel — sometimes ending life at birth or soon thereafter while, at other times, waiting a century or so before paying a visit. To date, I’ve been very lucky, but, before long, he will get around to me.”
In a letter posted to the $1 trillion holding company’s website, Buffett, 94, announced he would be donating around $1.1 billion of his Berkshire shares to his family’s four foundations, and said his three children would be responsible for gradually distributing the rest of his holdings following his death.
