Warren Buffett gives away his fortune
FORTUNE EXCLUSIVE: The world's second richest man - who's now worth $44
billion - tells editor-at-large Carol Loomis he will start giving away
85%% of his wealth in July - most of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation.

By Carol J. Loomis, FORTUNE editor-at-large
June 25, 2006: 1:42 PM EDT

NEW YORK (FORTUNE Magazine) - We were sitting in a Manhattan living room
on a spring afternoon, and Warren Buffett had a Cherry Coke in his hand
as usual. But this unremarkable scene was about to take a surprising turn.

"Brace yourself," Buffett warned with a grin. He then described a
momentous change in his thinking. Within months, he said, he would begin
to give away his Berkshire Hathaway fortune, then and now worth well
over $40 billion.
