Man Tries to Break Into WARREN Buffett's Home

Quote from day7793:

Tell me where does he have homes? Back it up by facts, not by some " feelings" in your mind.

The way information is pouring in, I bet this guy WARREN BUFFET flies coach on SouthWest Airlines booked in advance 3 weeks ahead on an Internet only fare! He stands in line, smiles with his hat and umbrella in hand, and looks down on his polished black shoes.

he had a place in Laguna Beach - i remember when he was blowhorning about Calif Prop 13 & property taxes in general.

Hefner? You gotta be kidding me. He owns 8 Million PLA shares - that's $88 million in value.
Hef is a nice guy and a true self-made man. But he is nowhere close to any legendary investor in terms of net worth.

yeah, but whose life would you have rather lived? hefner or buffet and dont dare say you love cherry Coke & McD.

Hef doesn't really want to live like that, he does it for the shareholders and to keep up appearances.

i think i saw him interviewed once and he said if he had to do it all over again, he would just be a family man.

Quote from runningman:

Maybe you should make him a little checklist of how specifically he should be spending *his* money. Do you also go tell your neighbors and friends how to spend their money and comment on it?

I hate CHEAPSKATES and people who hold money to the chest.

Today I was in a poor part of town, an old Mexican woman with white hairs in a pony tail was pushing a cart full of tin cans, she was looking in the malls dumpsters. I pulled up behind her , gave here all the coins from my car holder. She mumbled some prayer, I walked away didn't look back...

He sold the place, it was " costing " him too much. Besides he loves to live in Omaha. I heard, not sure, he also did give up his private jet.

So now the guy is back with one house, and a second hand Buick with no driver. Its a shame that he is 200 times richer than Hugh Hefner, yet he lives like that. Its shame he is 20, 30 times richer than Donald Trumph, yet does not owns a palatial retreat for his comforts, and in his old age people are walking up to his door, shooing guns at his residence!
