In the article, you state, "If you add in donations expected from billionaire Warren Buffett, the charity's assets will grow to twice that size..."

I believe that the agreement between Buffett and the BMGF calls for BMGF to spend five percent of its own assets, plus all of Buffett's previous year's donated assets--each year--starting a few years into the relationship. Thus, BMGF will not simply add Buffett's $30-plus billion to their own $30-something billion.
