While the bank accounts of billionaires might be stuffed to the brim, their everyday habits could be anything but ordinary. Yep, not all billionaires stick to a strict diet of caviar and success. Some of their habits are pretty out there, making their lifestyle seem a tad more colorful than you might expect. Buckle up, because here are five strange habits that some of the world's billionaires swear by:
Swimming Against the Tide
Think you need to outdo everyone to be super successful? Think again. Billionaires like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates didn’t just play the game better — they changed the game. They zigged when others zagged, making moves when everyone else was running scared or just running in circles.
Mastering Frugality
Imagine driving a $30,000 car when you’re worth billions. Sounds unlikely, right? Well, not for Mark Zuckerberg or Google's co-founder Sergey Brin. These guys show that sometimes, keeping it simple and smart with your money can mean more in the bank and less flashy extravagance.
DIY Billionaires
Forget the image of billionaires with an army of staff to handle every little task. Some, like Charlie Ergen, chairman of Dish Network, who packs his own lunch, show that self-reliance is still in style — even when your bank account has quite a few extra zeros.
Failing Like a Pro
Ever heard of a billionaire who never failed? Me neither! From massive investment flops to business blunders, these tycoons have seen it all. Yet, they view each failure as merely a stepping stone to greater success. Talk about resilience!
Health is Wealth
Last but definitely not least, many billionaires take their health seriously—very seriously. They might be able to afford all the junk food in the world, but instead, they choose greens over grease, proving that health really is wealth.
