The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Actually you can give them up to $15,000,000 (lifetime gift limit) right now tax free (twice that if from both you and your wife) and file an IRS Form 709. I think, but don't know, that the gift can be in the form of a transfer of Berkshire shares to them.“

The phrase "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations"

Gemini comes back with a good synopsis & a rule Id’e not heard of…


“The 70/90 Rule: Modern wealth management studies (like those by the Williams Group) consistently show that roughly 70% of wealthy families lose their fortune by the second generation, and a staggering 90% lose it by the third.”
