Warren Buffett donates again to the Gates Foundation but will cut the charity off after his death

Investor Warren Buffett has announced another $5.3 billion in charitable gifts Friday. But in a major shift of his longtime giving plan, he says he plans to cut off donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after his death and let his three children decide how to distribute the rest of his $128 billion fortune. Buffett laid out his new plan for his estate in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
