Buffett on CNBC: Gates Foundation Cut, Alphabet Stake and Warsh
In a CNBC Squawk Box interview on 15 July 2026 Warren Buffett explained why he left the Gates Foundation out of his annual share donations, said he initiated Berkshire's Alphabet investment, and called Kevin Warsh a good choice for the Fed.
- Buffett told Becky Quick on Squawk Box that he had "read a great deal" about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, found it "distasteful" but said "no one bats a thousand in the business of choosing people"[1]
- He said he dropped the Gates Foundation from his annual stock gifts because he reevaluated his plans and now thinks his three children are ready to give away large sums; Quick put total gifts to the foundation at about US$47 billion[1]
- He hopes the shares will be disbursed by the end of 2034, noting that in eight years his daughter will be about 80 and he is concerned about keeping marbles[1]
- Asked whose idea Berkshire's Alphabet stake was, Buffett said "I initiated it" and that neither he nor Abel does anything the other does not approve; CNBC put the stake at more than US$31 billion after a US$10 billion private purchase the previous month[1]
- Fortune/AP reported the donation decision was announced on Tuesday 14 July and that Gates, who flew to Omaha a few weeks earlier, was not surprised[2]
