Warren Buffett hates fancy food, drives badly, and saw the housing crash coming, his biographer says in a resurfaced Reddit post
"He's a terrible driver. There's always something going on in his head and he's also talking to you, meanwhile the car wanders between lanes and goes through yellow lights. He drives slowly to make sure it won't cause too much damage if he gets into an accident. I think he is doing less driving these days and being driven more, thank goodness."
Buffett is known for his single-minded obsession with investing, and oversees a sprawling conglomerate withSchroeder also told an anecdote that suggsests Buffett was deeply skeptical of the last housing boom, and expected home prices to crash and not recover for a decade: "Here's a good one. I bought a house in 2004 and when I told him he was aghast. That's when I knew we were in a serious housing bubble. Finally he said, 'Well, don't worry, you'll be able to sell it in ten years, so just hold on until 2014.'"
Buffett's simple tastes, occupied mind, and eye for value won't be news to his close followers, but they show the investor hasn't changed much in the last decade.Subscribe to push notifications
