- deadbabe 2y agoNo you can’t? You can blow $20 million on a house that then costs $500k a year in maintenance, and that’s just the beginning. And then you might say well just buy a regular house?? Why bother going through the struggle of becoming a CEO just to work for one year as CEO then go live in a regular house? Does not make sense at all.

The “Oracle of Omaha” purchased the home for $31,500, which would be worth about $250,000 in today’s dollars. > As it turns out, the house was the “third-best investment” he’s ever made, Buffett wrote in a letter to his shareholders in 2010.

- jemmyw 2y agoI mean, you pretty much answered your own question with "blow" which doesn't indicate it being a worthwhile purchase. The people I know who have done well in business don't have extremely fancy houses anyway. They vacation a lot. > Why bother going through the struggle of becoming a CEO just to work for one year as CEO then go live in a regular house? Does not make sense at all. People's priorities change. Maybe you're driven and got that kind of position and then think shit I can leave this and live well for the rest of my life.
