The 94-year-old Buffett recently publicly announced his estate plan: he intends to leave 0.5% of his personal wealth to his three children, while the remaining wealth will be donated to four family charitable foundations. Buffett's total wealth is approximately $150 billion, with about $7.5 billion designated for his children, and over $140 billion going to these family foundations.

​The inheritance tax in the United States is quite high, with a minimum of 18% and a maximum of up to 50%. If Buffett's wealth were to be passed directly to his children, they could face significant estate taxes, potentially losing half of the wealth. However, by donating to charitable foundations controlled by his family, Buffett not only avoids high estate taxes but also maintains control over these foundations. This way, he not only ensures the continued inheritance of family wealth but also enhances the family’s social image.

​This move is actually quite clever, as it gains more fame for himself and his family while effectively avoiding wealth loss. Through this method, Buffett leaves his wealth to his family and demonstrates the great virtue of 'donation', achieving both fame and fortune.

​So, when observing the actions of these super-rich individuals, do not be too naïve. The 'tricks' behind the scenes are often deeper than we imagine.
