This question comes from Devin Spurgeon.
On March 4th, Charlie's will was filed with the County
of Los Angeles.
The first coda seal codicil contained an unusual provision,
it reads. Averaged out. My long life has been a
favoured one,
made better by duty imposed by family tradition,
requiring righteousness and service. Therefore I follow an old practice
that I wish was more common now,
inserting an ethical bequest that gives priority not to property
but to transmission of duty.
If you were to make an ethical bequest to Berkshire
shareholders,
what duties would you impose?
And why?
I'd probably say read Charlie.
I mean he's expressed it well and I would well,
I would say that that if they're not financially well
off.
If you're being kind, you're doing something that most of
the rich people don't,
don't do when they even when they give way money.
But.
That's not a question of when you're whether you're rich
or poor.
And and I would, I would say if you're lucky
in life,
make sure a bunch of other people are lucky too.
OK.
Just in case you know what my advice to myself
would be has been during this period.
So we only got 30,
what three questions or whatever it is.
But thank you very, very much for coming.
And I not only hope that you come next year,
but I hope I come next year.
Thank you.
