Warren Buffett may be worth over $100 billion, but the successful investor still lives in the house he purchased for $30,000. Buffett, who is known to many as the “Oracle of Omaha,” is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which owns several successful companies like Duracell and the popular fast-food chain Dairy Queen. Though he’s built an insane fortune for himself, the Nebraska native hasn’t let dollar signs get to his head.
The investor still lives in his five-bedroom Omaha house that he bought over 60 years ago. “I’m happy there. I’d move if I thought I’d be happier someplace else,” he said in BBC’s “World’s Greatest Moneymaker” segment in 2009, per CNBC. “I’m warm in the winter, I’m cool in the summer, it’s convenient for me,” he added. “I couldn’t imagine having a better house.” The house is worth just over $1 million dollars in today’s market, a staggeringly low comparison to the $150 billion dollars that his company Berkshire Hathaway is estimated to be worth.
Furthermore, despite being one of Apple’s biggest investors, Buffet didn’t trade in his flip phone for an iPhone until 2020. “You’re looking at an 89-year-old guy who’s barely beginning to get with it,” Buffett admitted during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” Buffet admitted in his HBO documentary “Becoming Warren Buffett” that he even crunches numbers at Mcdonald’s: “$3.17 is a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, but the market’s down this morning, so I’ll pass up the $3.17 and go with the $2.95,” he admitted.
