Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest people in the world with a net worth of $142 billion, according to Bloomberg, is also known for his generosity. He has donated billions to charity over the years, but when it comes to his kids, handouts aren’t part of the deal.

In the HBO Becoming Warren Buffett documentary, Susie Buffett shared a story that gives a glimpse into her father's frugality. This wasn't the first time she had discussed it. Back in 2011, a Globe and Mail article mentioned that Susie once asked her father for a $41,000 loan to renovate her kitchen after she had a baby.

Even Bill Gates said he won’t leave millions to his kids.

America will be better off if his kids get all the money. They're more likely to blow it in a place like Vegas or Ibiza.

Warren Buffett had repeatedly cheated on his wife.
He has a open marriage. He does not care for his kids.
