Buffet has also been giving his to the Gates' foundation along with those by his children and in memory of his wife - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143487395

The reason why those 2 aren't #1 & #2 on the Forbes list instead of Muskrat and Bozos is because they have been giving their money away to their foundations over the past 15 years. Otherwise they would have as much or more than the 2 greedy miscreants.
