Warren Buffett is one of the largest shareholders of Apple at the age of 94. Despite his influence on the stock market and his wealth, he surprises the world with his unusual lifestyle. He eats fast food daily but places great importance on getting enough sleep and reducing stress.
This is Warren Buffett: Warren Buffett is among the largest shareholders of Apple. He recently caused a stir on Wall Street with a significant decision: selling over 50% of his Apple shares, valued at over 500 million dollars.
With his company Berkshire Hathaway, he has built an empire over decades and established himself as one of the most influential financial players worldwide. His role as a long-term Apple investor is also remarkable: through his stake in the tech giant, he has significantly contributed to its success. Besides Apple, he also holds shares in Coca-Cola and Domino’s Pizza, highlighting his diverse investment strategy.
5 cans of Cola and a McDonald’s meal every day
What lies behind his lifestyle? Despite being 94 years old and achieving remarkable success, Warren Buffett is also known for his extraordinary diet. Buffett explained in an interview (via Fortune) that in his research, he found that the lowest mortality rate is among six-year-old children. Therefore, he decided to eat like a six-year-old.
For 54 years, he has started his day with a classic, sugary Coca-Cola. Overall, he drinks about five cans of it every day. Besides Cola, McDonald’s is a staple in his daily routine. Almost daily, he goes to a McDonald’s to have breakfast:
- When stock prices fall, he orders breakfast for $2.95 (about €2.80)
- When they rise, he opts for the pricier meal for $3.17 (around €3).
But despite this dietary style, Buffett remains remarkably fit for his advanced age. He reads about 500 pages daily and works up to twelve hours. He also mentioned that two of his doctors said he is in good shape.
Adequate sleep is more important than diet
He repeatedly emphasizes that good sleep is crucial for his health, at least eight hours per night, without exception. In his opinion, good sleep and little stress are more important than diet.
Similarly, there are other influential figures who have their own views about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. For instance, the head of a large tech company says he worked 70 hours a week for 40 years and considers this a meaningful path to success. However, this attitude does not meet with universal approval.
