Warren Buffett, known for his astute business decisions and immense wealth, has defied expectations with his modest lifestyle. Despite having a net worth exceeding $100 billion, many would assume he owns a private island or resides in a mansion. However, when questioned about why he has stayed in the same home for so long, Buffett explained that he would only move if it brought him greater happiness. As the tenth richest person globally, Buffett remains content residing in the very house he purchased in Omaha, Nebraska, in the late 1950s for a mere $31,000 (equivalent to $250,000 in 2021).
