Class is Warren Buffet. Net worth of over 100 billion and doesn't give an F about his house.
Buffet has a 6,500 square foot house so it’s not exactly nothing (it is in fact one of the nicest in Omaha). He also sold in 2018 his vacation house in Lavinia beach for $7.5M. Today it would fetch $10M-$15M.
Given his wealth I do not think that is opulent, but it’s not humble either.
Buffett's house in Omaha is actually listed on Zillow. Last I checked, it was worth $1.3M so, yes, that's very humble when you're worth $100,000,000,000+. Hell, half of DCUM lives in a more expensive house.
The beach house was bought for his first wife to move into when they separated in the 1970s. If you know Buffett, he probably kept that after her death as much for sentimental reasons as anything else. As a Republican, I don't like his political views (and I think he is guilty of some hypocrisy there), but his personal lifestyle is unquestionably frugal.
