The man has enviable health.
Take a Caesar salad at a McDonald's every day, and your health will likely also be enviable.
The word "salad" doesn't imply "healthy".

It's very obvious that some of the lesser plutocrats have public PR campaigns now. Zuck obviously got a stylist too.
Can’t even remember if Zuck testified before the Congress or Senate, but his super weird fucking haircut on that day is indelibly etched into my brain. So a stylist is probably a solid strategic choice for him.
Legend has it that Meta was having difficulty making their metaverse Mii characters look human, so Zuck solved that problem by making himself look like a Mii.

#293Berkshire's investment in Apple is responsible for ~50% of its portfolio success in the last 20 years.
The rest is insurance.
Respect to the man for running an operation for 60 years. That's a helluva feat that deserves a lot of admiration.
Still surprised at HN's glazing of someone whose life's mission was to make a number go up and to the right via insurance packages.

Au contraire, larger-than-life people may desire to pass off as normal & common.
Or that's just what he feels. He also sleeps in a fairly normal home. Wouldn't he have a secret mega mansion if he was just putting on a show?
If it's secret, then how would you know?

I agree, however I don’t think the last two of your bullets are necessarily something to learn from on the surface.
Disagree. The last one is important. You can buy a bigger and bigger house car tv stereo whatever, but it will not make you happy.

Speak for yourself. There are a lot of aspects to being happy, and having to not want for things certainly helps.

#297Is this article written by a child?
"he grew Berkshire from a struggling New England textile mill that he starting buying up for $7.60 a share in 1962"

Yet another example to me of how he literally engineered his life for success, using principles like choosing which variables to hold fixed. What discipline.
If he was poor, people would call him lazy for eating mcdonalds everyday...
Whole point of being rich is to have freedom to do whatever you want. Including fancy dress like poor and eat like them for personal marketing at times.
Pretty sure Mr Buffet mostly eats salads.

Buffett's restraint was legendary and his transparency even more so.
Bill Gates also initially dismissed him, thinking he had nothing to learn.
General Electric also tried to "make a number go up" and effed up the insurance part despite having Buffett as a model and putting 10,000 people through their custom management training facility every year.
Raise a glass to the man and read his letters.

It has plenty of green vegetables, and croutons, sauce, and chicken nuggets are all optional. (Ask me how I know.)
