Buffett Says Airbnb Founders to Top Him in Championing Charity

Warren Buffett, the 86-year-old billionaire who committed most of his wealth to charity, said he expects younger entrepreneurs, such as the co-founders of Airbnb Inc., to be better messengers than him about the benefits of donating a fortune.

“Every one of them is worth about 10 of me,” the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chairman said Tuesday in remarks broadcast by video to the Concordia Summit, a gathering of business, government and non-profit leaders that encourages partnerships to address the world’s most pressing challenges. “Because you’re going to have young people, particularly in this day and age, that get wealthy very early, and they’re going to look to the people that are their heroes.”
