"Spending it is not his thing"   You said that he has fun making money, yet wont spend!?   Then, why have it?

Some people love to spend money they don't have so I guess he's the opposite,

Thats interesting.  Did his children turn out to be "normal", responsible (productive members of society and not bitter towards their father)?

Has Buffet ever disclosed his reasons for amassing so much wealth if he wasnt going to use and enjoy it?

Side note I read he is the son of a US Congressman.



he hoards money, probably loses sleep knowing 2 people bill gates and jeff bezos have more

still lives in the same somewhat modest nebraska house he bought over 50 years ago, what the hell is the point in being a billionaire if you live like you make 70k a year?   

i don't think it's about not spoiling the kids, he just has to hoard as much money as possible for ego reasons

Buffett owned two houses for a lot of his life, he just happens to really like Nebraska -

Nebraska house -

.


The California house he owned for 35 - 40 years, and sold a few years ago -

.

Also, I'm sure there are corporate properties owned all over that he could have use of.

His house is 6,570 sq. ft.

It's not some post-war cape cod in Levittown.
