Buffett’s a big fraud.

Everyone knows he’s got a mistress across town and probably a few more tucked away in big cities or even Europe.

Think he short sheets them?

They don’t do the wild thing with big daddy cuz he’s good for a ride. It’s cash on the barrelhead, gray beard.

Nothin’ but a bunch of PR BS.

Really? Warren Buffet eats breakfast at McDonald’s? It’s nice to know we have an indulgence in common.

I agree. Life is for living. Enjoy it when you can while you can afford to.

Plenty of things rich people don’t buy that poor people do.

Lottery tickets for a big one.

Andrew Carnegie’s mother used to say to him ... “Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.” I probably need to take better heed of that advice myself.

Now it’s $517,000 per share. So your $15k back then would now be 51 million.

Poor folks pay $4.00 for a cup of coffee. Rich folks don’t.

If I am home, I make pretty good coffee. If I am out socially or traveling, I would pay $4 for a cup. That’s actually cheap at a lot of the hotels I used to frequent.

But to each their own.

The private plane is Warren Buffet’s guilty pleasure

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-private-jet-plane-purchase-indefensible-indispensable-2021-10

And now it’s one of Berkshire Hathaway’s businesses. Their NetJets subsidiary has the largest private plane fleet in the world.

But at least Buffett doesn’t lecture us about the climate crisis, so I’m OK with it.

noting she "could get a pound of coffee" for that price in other places

Maybe the last time she ever bought a pound of coffee. It’s not under $11/pound now. Unless she is used to Folgers.

Perry and Della are at a high-class restaurant, Ferrold’s Cafe. Perry complains that the coffee costs a phenomenal $1.

He hardly uses his beach house in Laguna Beach or his private jets or the Rolls Royce or the Cadillac or his multiple girlfriends he has had while married.....

I remember reading where Buffetts wife told him that she wanted a new car.
He replied "Do you know how much that is compounded annually for 20 years?"

Buffett owned a Cessna aircraft about 20 years ago. I don’t think he has ever owned the Cessna company, which was bought by Textron.
