Warren Buffett changed his will, fertilizer and water do not flow into other people's fields,
Bill Gates' foundation no longer benefits
On June 28, 94-year-old Warren Buffett revealed in an interview that after his death, he would give almost all of his wealth to a new charitable trust managed by his daughter and two sons.
He plans to donate more than 99 percent of his net wealth to philanthropic causes, with $130 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock.
This decision was influenced by the death of old friend Charlie Munger and ensured that Berkshire had a suitable successor.

Netizens are hotly discussed
In Europe and the United States, the inheritance tax is as high as 60%, which is a headache for many wealthy people.
As a result, the shrewd wealthy have found a new way to avoid taxes: donate their wealth to charities, which they have set up themselves. In this way, not only can you justifiably avoid taxes, but also beautify your image, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
No wonder some netizens joked: I only care about the second generation, and the third generation is what the second generation should care about.
Everyone's complaints are not unreasonable. Some people pointed out that the third generation joined the foundation to do management, or let the third generation go out to work, and then continue to donate the foundation's money to the project, and after cashing out, they all came out.
The wisdom of the rich is really admirable, not only to avoid taxes, but also to transfer property legally. This kind of operation is simply a clever means of wealth inheritance.
Some netizens mentioned: There is no need for high salaries, just count food, clothing, housing and transportation in the company's accounts. This sentence hits the nail on the head.
Wealthy people don't need high salaries, because their living expenses are already covered by the company. As a result, wandering on the edge of the law, tax avoidance became a matter of course.
What's more, directly putting Lao Tzu's property into his grandson's pocket legally and compliantly, this kind of operation is simply amazing.
However, some netizens pointed out: People are tax avoidance, so don't misunderstand it as giving to the poor. The charitable donations of the rich seem to be good deeds, but in fact they are for tax avoidance, and such "kindness" is difficult to compliment. We should see that behind this is more of a loophole in the system than the generosity of the rich.
Is this "tax avoidance game" a loss of legal wisdom or a moral degrade? What do you think about this?
