- dukeyukey 3y ago"Smallish" his Omaha house is about triple the size of the average modern American home, and he bought it in 1958 when homes were much smaller than today!
- socrates137 3y agoI’d never heard this about Warren Buffet and so looked it up out of curiosity. I’m going to be honest, I hesitate to call it “smallish” for the average American (around 6500 sq ft). But I’ll admit it’s smaller and more modest than most homes owned by billionaires. At least according to my brief search, it’s the only house he owns, too.

- laundryfolding 3y ago> Warren Buffet still lives in the same smallish house he bought in the 60s. 50s, not 60s. And it's a bad counterexample. Warren Buffett is 93 years old. (Or to put it another way, Warren Buffett is old enough to have bought a house in the 50s. I'm discussing the differences between then and now: people who _might_ be 50, but definitely weren't alive in the 50s, let alone buying a house.)
