From midnight cereal snacks to McDonald's runs, loving junk food is one way billionaires are just like us.
Although the life of a billionaire looks glamorous from the outside — private jets, mansions around the world, Michelin-starred restaurants — in some ways billionaires can be shockingly down to earth. Case in point: Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, two of the richest people in the world, prefer a McDonald’s burger to most high-end cuisine. Read on for more insights into seven billionaires’ favorite snacks.
Jeff Bezos The Amazon founder reportedly makes time for a healthful breakfast whenever possible. His preferred order isn’t exactly commonplace, though. Bezos once reportedly requested Mediterranean octopus with potatoes, bacon, green garlic yogurt and a poached egg during a breakfast meeting. Before Bezos went to space on his New Shepard rocket ship, he also joked with reporters who suggested the tray of Arroz con Pollo he was carrying could be his “last meal.”
Sara Blakely The billionaire founder of Spanx, who sold a majority stake in her company to Blackstone in October, generally leads a pretty healthy lifestyle. For example, she starts every morning with a smoothie her husband deems “disgusting,” which includes “frozen wild blueberries, a few dark cherries, kale, dates, cinnamon, spinach, cilantro, fresh mint, lemon, water, ice, chia and walnuts.” Blakely pairs the smoothie with green tea, which she drinks with local honey and cashew milk. But not all of her favorite snacks are so virtuous. Blakely told The Strategist that her pre-flight ritual is to buy a big bag of Cheez-Its: “I never eat Cheez-Its at any other time, but I do fly a lot, so I am eating Cheez-Its a lot.”
Warren Buffett

“They can eat shat.”
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet seem to love McDonald’s so I guess they are eating shat.
Screw them rich people: THIS is what eatin’ a snack looks like. I’m definitely gonna try this! Thanks!
I agree. Who gives a sh*t?
Hi.
I shouldn’t say this because other FReepers have been with us (you know who you are), and had to have either a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder meal.
The First lady has to go to McDonald’s once a month.

Do you know what I mean about canned cheese? With the little white nozzle dispenser?
Looks like it is called Kraft EZ Cheese?
Oh, yeah. Absolutely! I put it on top of my white trash nachos. Just sent the wife to pick up Bugles. We’re about to find out how strong my marriage is. lol
I’m interested on Bill Gates last meal
Does Buffet eat Runzas?
If somehow one ends up with tens of billions of dollars they end up doing very bad things that harm a lot of people. There seems to be few exceptions.
Why do you care at all?
If you COULD care less, that means there is some level of caring.
Now, if you could NOT care less, that would make more sense.
What are white trash nachos? Every so often, I will brown up a couple pounds of ground beef, drain, and then season with taco seasoning. Then I divide it up into about 1/3 cup each into snack baggies, put them in the freezer.
When I want a quick nachos meal, I spread out some tortilla chips on a plate, sprinkle a thawed portion of the meat from above, some halved black olives, maybe chopped tomato if I have one. Then cover liberally with cheese, microwave for about 1 minute. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
How did you like the cheese-filled bugles?
Thanks for that. It makes me crazy: “I could care less.”
Glad you liked the Bugles idea!!
Your white trash nachos recipe really takes it to the lowest possible nacho level! LOL
