‘Legendary investor’ Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, celebrated his 94th birthday on August 30 (local time). On the 1st, the American economic weekly Fortune reported on Buffett’s secret to his longevity on his 94th birthday.
Fortune said that Buffett’s secret to longevity lies in his habits other than his diet, saying that he “frequently enjoys hamburgers, cola, and ice cream, which are far from healthy.” Fortune analyzed that Buffett’s secret to longevity is his life values and attitude, which are created through mental health and gratitude.
In particular, Fortune analyzed that Buffett’s secret to health is “an attitude of being grateful for what you have and focusing on what you like.” Buffett sleeps more than eight hours a day. He explained the reason by saying, “I don’t want to go to work at 4 a.m.,” and “I like to sleep, so I usually sleep eight hours a day” (2017, PBS NewsHour). He also doesn’t forget to enjoy his favorite hobbies. According to Fortune, Buffett reads and thinks for five to six hours a day and plays bridge with friends for eight hours a week.
Buffett has expressed that he is satisfied with the life he has been given and that this attitude makes him healthy. At the 2019 annual event with Charlie Munger, who passed away last year, Buffett said, “(I) have a great partner, a great manager, a great family,” and expressed that his life was blessed. He also said, “When I get to my age, I measure my success in life by how many people actually love you” (2023, Yahoo Finance) and “I think happiness makes a huge difference in terms of longevity” (2017, CNBC interview).
However, Fortune said of his eating habits, “It’s far from the health-conscious diet that is commonly known.” It quoted Buffett’s past remarks, saying, “He eats like a 6-year-old,” “He likes Utz potato sticks and drinks five 12-ounce Coca-Colas a day.”
According to the 2017 HBO documentary “Being Warren Buffett,” Buffett eats a $3.17 menu consisting of two sausage patties or eggs, cheese, and bacon at McDonald’s every morning, along with a Coke. For lunch, he eats a chili cheese hot dog from Dairy Queen, along with ice cream with cherry syrup and chopped nuts. For snacks, he enjoys candies and chocolate from See’s Candies.
