Sorry, that number seems to be incorrect. "Buffett has given away more than $46 billion since 2000". Note that I don't really think giving away money is the highest virtue or the highest utility. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/21/warren-buffet-is-the-most-charitable-billionaire.html …
How'd Buffett inspire Google and Amazon? Thanks for the point regarding his giving to charity. I will make an edit to the article. My mistake.

They are both modeled after Buffett's setup at Berkshire. Read their IPO letters and see if you can spot the admitted similarities.

I have a vague awareness of the similarities. Early in their existence Amazon and Google were both great innovative companies. Today, they are mostly anti-competitive semi-monopolies whose saving grace is their ostensible willingness to make small bets in emergent technologies.
