Yea. Most of the media reporting on Buffett is... sloppy to put it politely. The guy lives with Astrid (and some body guards) in a 5 bed house that he sentimentally likes. He also has a couple nice houses in CA (and possibly other states) and a private jet. If someone reads any biography on him they'd know this. (IIRC it also came up when he was advising Gov Arnold on re-doing real estate taxes and he wrote some OP-eds.)

What's more surprising to me is how well he's doing (physically and cognitively) in his 90's as someone who eats at McDonalds every single day and I think is largely sedentary. The other side of the coin is his dad barely made it to 60 though his mom died in her 90's.

Shhh, doesn't fit in with the image of "Uncle Warren the Nice Billionaire".
