I thought I heard that Buffett wasn't going to leave much to his heirs, and the bulk of his fortune will end up going to the Gates foundation?


Depends on what you mean by "much". In percentage terms, he's promised to give away 99% of his fortune, leaving only 1% to his heirs. But in absolute terms, his fortune is around $50 billion, so the 1% he's leaving is still around $500 million--- so his heirs will still be among the richest people in the U.S.
