Warren Buffett was asked about his morning routine and his famously unusual diet. His answer was very Buffetty: "I eat exactly what I like to eat. If I liked it on my sixth birthday when we had hot dogs and hamburgers and Coke and ice cream with chocolate, I still like it. And I don't care about anything subsequently that I discovered. I discovered it all by the time I was six." When the interviewer pushed him on health, he didn't budge: "If somebody offered me a deal when I was 20 and said you're gonna live one year longer, instead of living to 88 you live to 89, if you eat nothing but broccoli and Brussels sprouts and onions, I wouldn't take it. That last year probably won't be that good anyway." He was then asked how much cash he carries. The man worth $130 billion said $400, mostly because his wife likes to use cash... "My wife likes to use cash, so I just take home a chunk of cash every now and then. She doles it out. She looks at my billfold and sees whether all the hundreds are gone." He's had the same American Express card since 1964. He pays cash 98% of the time. He eats like a six-year-old at a birthday party and has absolutely no plans to change. A man who has spent seven decades optimising returns on every dollar has done zero optimisation on what he puts in his mouth. That might be the most Buffetty thing about Buffett. — Warren Buffett @WarrenBuffett P.S. We build content infrastructure for founders and VCs. 1.5M views/week average.
