Investing icon Warren Buffett has now pledged half of his Berkshire Hathaway shares to (BRK-B, BRK-A) to charity, giving another $4.1 billion to five foundations as part of his long-standing annual commitment to philanthropy.
"Today is a milestone for me. In 2006, I pledged to distribute all of my Berkshire Hathaway shares – more than 99% of my net worth – to philanthropy. With today’s $4.1 billion distribution, I’m halfway there," Buffett wrote in a letter on Wednesday.

"Over many decades I have accumulated an almost incomprehensible sum simply by doing what I love to do," Buffett said. "Society has a use for my money: I don't."
