Buffett donates $3.4 billion to Gates' and family charities
(Reuters) - Warren Buffett has donated roughly $3.4 billion of Berkshire Hathaway Inc
Buffett's 13th annual donation comprised about 17.7 million Class "B" shares of Berkshire, valued at $192 each as of Monday's market close.
The largest block went to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Buffett's own foundation, named for his late first wife Susan, and charities run by his children Howard, Susan and Peter received the rest.
