Original Title 原标题Warren Buffett has finally revealed what will happen to his money after he dies
New York(CNN)— Warren Buffett just changed how his considerable fortune will be spent following his death.
CNN从纽约发来的报道——沃伦·巴菲特刚刚更改了关于如何处理他身后的巨额财富的遗嘱。

Buffett, 93, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, told the Wall Street Journal he has again re-worked his will — and that he does not plan to continue donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after he dies. He will put his wealth in a new charitable trust overseen by his three children, he said.
今年93岁的伯克希尔哈撒韦的主席巴菲特对《华尔街日报》说,他再次修改了他的遗嘱,他计划在他死后,不再向比尔·盖茨和梅琳达基金会捐赠。他说,他将把他的财富放在他的三个孩子监督的新慈善信托基金里。
“The Gates Foundation has no money coming after my death,” Buffett told the Journal.
“我死后,盖茨基金会就不会再收到我的钱了。”巴菲特对《华尔街日报》说。
Buffett told the Journal he has changed his will several times, and he put together the newest plan due to the trust he has in his children’s values and how they will distribute his wealth. Each of Buffett’s children has their own philanthropic organizations.
巴菲特对《华尔街日报》说,他已经多次修改遗嘱,他修改了遗嘱是因为他信任自己孩子们的价值观,相信他们能分配好他的财富。巴菲特的每一个孩子都有各自的慈善组织。
“I feel very, very good about the values of my three children, and I have 100% trust in how they will carry things out,” Buffett told the Journal.
“我对我的三个孩子的价值观感到高兴,我100%相信他们能处理好事情。”巴菲特对《华尔街日报》说过。
Previously, Buffett had said his will stated that more than 99% of his estate was earmarked for philanthropic usage to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the four charities connected to his family: the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, Sherwood Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation and NoVo Foundation.
在此之前,巴菲特曾经说过,他在遗嘱里表明,他的99%财产被指定用于慈善用途,由比尔盖茨-梅琳达基金会与4个与他家族相关的慈善基金会管理。这4个巴菲特家族相关的基金会是:苏珊·汤姆森·巴菲特基金会、苏尔伍德基金会、霍华德·G·巴菲特基金会,以及诺禾(NoVo)基金会。
For now, however, Buffett is seemingly planning to continue donations to the Gates Foundation in his lifetime.
然而,现在巴菲特似乎只计划在他有生之年继续献给盖茨基金会捐款。
Berkshire Hathaway on Friday said that Buffett is converting roughly 9,000 Class A shares into more than 13 million Class B shares. About 9.3 million shares will go to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, with the rest split among the four Buffett family charities.
星期五,伯克希尔哈撒韦公司说,巴菲特正在把大约9000股A级股票转换成1300万股B级股票。大约930万股将会放到比尔盖茨-梅琳达基金会信托里,剩下的股票分配到4个巴菲特家族的慈善基金里。
“Warren Buffett has been exceedingly generous to the Gates Foundation through more than 18 years of contributions and advice,” Mark Suzman, the foundation’s chief executive, said in a statement to CNN. “We are deeply grateful for his most recent gift and contributions totaling approximately $43 billion to our work.” (Melinda announced in May that she would leave the organization, and her last day was June 7 — but the foundation has not yet changed its name.)
“沃伦·巴菲特一直以来对盖茨基金会非常慷慨,它在过去的18多年里给盖茨基金会大量的捐赠和提供了许多宝贵的建议。”盖茨基金会的首席执行官马克·苏兹曼在给CNN的一份声明里说:“我们非常感谢他最近的赠予,感谢他为我们的工作提供了总额接近430亿美元的捐赠。”(梅琳达在五月份宣布她将离开该组织,她在该组织的最后一天是6月7日。但是基金会的名字还没有更改。)
Buffett donated about $870 million last year to the four charities run by his family, and about $750 million to them in 2022.
2022年,巴菲特向他家族运作的4个慈善组织捐赠了大约7.5亿美元。去年,巴菲特又向它们捐赠了大约8.7亿美元。
Following the newly announced donations, Buffett owns 207,963 Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares and 2,586 Class B shares, the company said. The shares are worth roughly $128 billion.
伯克希尔哈撒韦公司说,在此次宣布的捐赠(给盖茨基金会)后,巴菲特拥有207963股伯克希尔哈撒韦A级股票和2586股B级股票。这些股票的价值大约1280亿美元。
