I see those stories often but they’re really a partial story. He could care less about cars, so that’s why you see stories like this. And they talk about his $31k house that he bought back in the day but they fail to mention his $11 million California home that he had and his jet. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewstibbe/2011/09/22/warren-buffeett-jet/amp/
Buffett came to like jets so much, he bought Net Jets.
So, he buys what interests him and what he sees as a good business tool and tax write-off. That’s more of a balance, but yes I know…doesn’t make for as fun of a story…yet is more of a balanced picture.
