Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, often celebrated for his simple lifestyle despite being one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, does have a taste for some luxurious items.

While he advocates for frugality and investing wisely, here are eight luxurious possessions that showcase a different side of the ‘Oracle of Omaha,’ even though, to be fair to Buffet, most of his more sought-after possessions are only considered luxurious because of their antique value.

Contrary to popular belief, Buffett doesn’t own a private jet but has a membership with NetJets, a company he bought in 1998. This gives him access to the world’s largest fleet of business jets, ensuring he travels in comfort and efficiency.

Purchased in 1958 for roughly $31,500 (around $250,000 when adjusted for inflation), Buffett’s Omaha residence might seem modest for a billionaire but has been his home base for decades. Despite its simplicity, the house, valued at about $1.3 million today, underscores his principle of living within means.

Owning over 242,000 acres of farmland in the U.S., including a family farm in Illinois and research farms in South Africa and Arizona, Buffett sees farmland as both a financial investment and a means to contribute to society by ensuring food security.
