But it also includes the idea that the new trust that Buffet is creating, to be overseen by his children, has to give away all of the bequest within 10 years of his death. I just don’t see how that is remotely possible, even with a McKenzie Scott approach, barring just dropping money from the sky
My sense is the orgs and focus areas Yield Giving has gifted to probably can’t absorb as much funding as the big line items in this Longview report (several of which exceed Buffet’s entire endowment, albeit none shovel-ready AFAICT), so a MacKenzie Scott approach at 3-4x the scale for the Longview focus areas seems to have an outside shot at being possible? (Scott has been giving ~$4 bn per year over the last few years going by Yield Giving’s public database alone, and Buffet’s planned trust would need to give >$13 bn a year)
