Through business savvy, and a series of incredibly well thought out investments, Warren Buffet has, for decades, been one of the wealthiest people in the world. Most people would think that, with a net worth of more than $100 billion, someone would own a private island somewhere, or, at the very least, live in a house the size of a small town.

Buffett was once asked why he has remained in the same home for so long, to which he answered, “I’d move if I thought I’d be happier someplace else.” Even as the tenth wealthiest person in the world, Warren Buffett has been more than “happy” to continue living in the same house in Omaha, Nebraska, that he purchased back in the late 1950s, for just over $31,000 ($250,000 in 2021).
