Bill Gates is well and truly out in the cold after his closest billionaire friend, Warren Buffett, axed the Gates Foundation from his yearly charity donations over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

On Tuesday, Mr. Buffett — one of the world’s wealthiest people and biggest philanthropists — declined to give billions of dollars to the Gates Foundation, as was his habit for two decades.

He will donate about $6 billion to four foundations connected to his family, but did not mention Gates in his announcement Tuesday.
