Warren Buffett Backs $36B Gates Foundation Gift Despite Epstein Fallout

In a recent interview, Warren Buffett said he has no regrets over the roughly $36 billion he donated to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He acknowledged that recent revelations about Bill Gates’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein were unfortunate, but defended the foundation’s work and integrity. Buffett confirmed he is no longer in contact with Gates until the matter is cleared up. He also stated he never met Epstein and wants to avoid any legal entanglements over these issues. The U.S. Department of Justice released documents that include emails between Gates and Epstein, along with unverified claims made by Epstein. Gates has apologized to foundation staff, calling the relationship a “huge mistake.” Buffett’s contributions have continued annually, with his next donation scheduled for June. He emphasized that the foundation remains focused on global health and development, not personal gain.
