(FOX BUSINESS) — In November, ahead of the holiday season, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett issued an unexpected message to shareholders, wherein he announced updates on what will happen to his massive fortune after his death and offered some advice for others on handling how to pass on their wealth.

In a letter posted to the $1 trillion holding company’s website, Buffett, 94, announced he would be donating around $1.1 billion of his Berkshire shares to his family’s four foundations, and said his three children would be responsible for gradually distributing the rest of his holdings following his death.

The tone of the letter suggests the “Oracle of Omaha” is feeling his mortality.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
