巴菲特三名子女将接手分配约1500亿美元财富：坦言面对每年逾150亿美元的量级还没想好怎么分
据彭博社10月18日发表的长篇报道，投资家沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）约1,500亿美元的财富，在他身后将由三名子女 Susie Buffett、Howard Buffett 与 Peter Buffett 一致决定如何分配，计划在大约10年内分完。这是巴菲特生前定下的安排：三名子女须一致同意，任何一人都不能单独决定这笔财富的去向。
三人目前各自掌管一家家族基金会，每家每年分发的赠款约5亿美元。巴菲特身后，他们面对的将是每年150亿美元以上的分配量级，是现在的约10倍。Susie Buffett 对彭博社说：「我们还不知道（怎么分）。」报道说，三人对这一量级的任务直言心里没底，但多年来通过各自的基金会已在教育、农业与粮食安全、社区发展等领域积累了分发大额赠款的经验。
巴菲特今年早些时候已就其持股的去向作出一轮安排：今年7月，他把约60亿美元的伯克希尔·哈撒韦 B 类股捐给四家家族基金会，其中约45亿美元给 Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation，Sherwood Foundation、Howard G. Buffett Foundation 与 NoVo Foundation 各得约5亿美元；自2006年作出捐赠承诺以来一直是其最大受赠方的盖茨基金会，这一次未在名单之列。其余持股按其安排将在2034年12月31日前全部转入这四家家族基金会。
巴菲特已于2025年底卸任伯克希尔·哈撒韦首席执行官，由 Greg Abel 接任，他本人留任董事长。这笔财富最终如何由三名子女在约10年内分配完毕，将是美国慈善史上规模最大的个人遗产分发之一。（GSM 据彭博社报道）
Buffett's Three Children to Direct Distribution of His Roughly $150 Billion Fortune, Admit They Have Not Yet Figured Out How
Warren Buffett's roughly $150 billion fortune will, after his death, be distributed under the unanimous direction of his three children, Susie, Howard and Peter Buffett, over a period of about 10 years, according to a Bloomberg feature published on October 18. Under the arrangement Buffett set out during his lifetime, the three must agree unanimously; none of them can decide the fortune's destination alone.
Each of the three currently runs a family foundation distributing about $500 million a year. After their father's death they will face an annual distribution scale of more than $15 billion, roughly ten times the current level. Susie Buffett told Bloomberg: "We don't know yet." The report said the three admit to being daunted by the scale of the task, while noting that years of running their foundations in fields such as education, agriculture and food security, and community development have given them experience in giving away large sums.
Buffett made an earlier round of arrangements for his holdings this year: in July he donated about $6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares to four family foundations, about $4.5 billion of it to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and about $500 million each to the Sherwood Foundation, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the NoVo Foundation. The Gates Foundation, the largest recipient of his giving since his 2006 pledge, was not on the list this time. Under his plan, his remaining shares are to be transferred to the four family foundations in full by December 31, 2034.
Buffett stepped down as Berkshire Hathaway's chief executive at the end of 2025 and was succeeded by Greg Abel, remaining as chairman. How the three children complete the distribution within about a decade will be one of the largest personal-estate dispersals in American philanthropic history. (GSM, based on Bloomberg reporting)
