Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has decided to halt his annual donation to the Gates Foundation, as per the Wall Street Journal.
The decision comes as a first in nearly two decades and is said to be awaiting the outcome of a review into Bill Gates‘s past association with Jeffrey Epstein.
