Warren Buffett has donated roughly $3.4 billion of Berkshire Hathaway Inc stock to five charities, the billionaire`s largest contribution in his plan to give away his fortune.

Buffett`s 13th annual donation comprised about 17.7 million Class "B" shares of Berkshire, valued at $192 each as of Monday`s market close.

The largest block went to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Buffett`s own foundation, named for his late first wife Susan, and charities run by his children Howard, Susan and Peter received the rest.
