DIGIVESTASI - Legendary investor Warren Buffett is a living example of how rich people can continue to live a simple life. Despite being one of the richest people in the world, Buffet is known for his frugal lifestyle. It is known that the Berkshire Hathaway CEO still lives in the old house he bought in 1958. Buffet bought the house for $31,500.

Using the current exchange rate (Rs 15,490), Buffet bought this house for only Rs 487 million. Wondering how much money he spent when he bought the house in 1958? If you do the math yourself, you'll find that the house probably cost a tenth of its current price. But Zillow estimates that the 92-year-old's house is now worth $1.2 million or around Rp 17.9 billion. 

Despite being drowning in wealth, Buffet considers his house to be one of the best investments he's ever made. Another very valuable investment is a wedding ring, Buffet said. Buffett's 6,570-foot home is located in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. The house is located just 5 minutes from Berkshire Hathaway's headquarters. 

Buffett admits that he has no plans to move to a more luxurious home than this. Moreover, he still feels comfortable at home. "I like it there (the house in Omaha). "I only move if I feel happier somewhere else," Buffett said, Sunday (11/3/2024).

"This house is fine. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. This house is comfortable for me. I can't imagine a better home," he continued. Despite having assets of $106 billion or around Rp 158,000 crore, Buffett is a very simple businessman. This can be seen from his very simple daily life. 

According to the same report, proof of Mr. Buffett's naivety is that although the iPhone 11 has been on sale since 2019 and Apple is the third, it wasn't until 2020 that the $20 phone was sold, i.e. He said he exchanged about 299,000 rupees for the iPhone 11. Berkshire Hathaway's biggest vendor is business. 

Separately, Buffett reportedly never spends more than $4, or about 59,000 rupees, for breakfast. 
He usually only orders two sausage rolls for $2.61. Sausage, egg and cheese costs $2.95. You can buy bacon, eggs and cheese at McDonald's for $3.17.
