Warren Buffett's Thrifty Lifestyle: From McDonald's Breakfasts To Rare Splurges

Despite being the sixth-wealthiest person globally with a net worth of $124 million, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett lives a surprisingly modest life. He still resides in the house he purchased in the 1950s and drives a moderate car, Business Insider reported.

The billionaire’s frugal ways extend to his breakfast habits—he’s known for eating McDonald’s in the mornings. He also enjoys playing bridge, spending up to 8 hours a week on the game, and has a collection of 22 ukuleles.

A substantial portion of Buffett’s wealth is tied to Berkshire Hathaway, his publicly-traded holding and investment company. The company, which owns over $1 trillion in assets, has been the primary source of Buffett’s financial growth.

Despite his massive wealth, Buffett plans to leave his children $2 billion each, subscribing to the belief that money should be enough for them to do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing.
