Despite his immense wealth, Buffett called it the “third best investment” he ever made — after his two wedding rings. Still, in his 2010 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he admitted he would’ve made more money renting and investing that cash in stocks. But for him, the value came in the memories it brought his family, not just the financial return. Today, the home is worth around $XXXX million, but Buffett never bought real estate to make money. He’s repeatedly said he has no interest in mansions, once asking, “Would XX homes make me more happy?” He bought a Laguna Beach vacation home for his late wife in 1971 and sold it in 2018 for $XXX million. He also owns productive farmland, valuing utility over luxury. Buffett’s real estate philosophy is clear: buy what you can afford, not what you dream of. He warned against stretching for a home you can't realistically maintain. In an era of excess, Buffett’s lifestyle stands out. He’s shown that real wealth isn’t about bigger homes — it’s about smarter choices and lasting value.
