Warren Buffett has pledged to give away 99% of his wealth, having already donated over $48 billion. He signed The Giving Pledge in 2006, stating that more than 1% of his wealth would not advance his happiness. The podcast hosts support this philanthropic commitment, viewing it as a healthy relationship with money and a way to make a significant positive impact.
“He's actually given away more than forty eight billion dollars at this point, but he's not planning to stop there.”
“He signed the giving Pledge, and that means that he's committed to giving away ninety nine percent of his wealth when he dies.”
“If we were to use more than one percent on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well being would be advanced. This ninety nine percent can have a huge impact on health and welfare of others.”
