Yes, and it’s frankly a little ridiculous. Most people are retired and complaining about their lawn at 94. Buffett is still running Berkshire Hathaway, making billion-dollar deals, and eating hamburgers for breakfast. The man has outlived five presidents. Five!
He’s been around so long that his first stock purchase was at age 11. That was 1942. World War II was still kicking. He bought three shares of Cities Service Preferred for himself—and sold them too early, making a tiny profit. Even back then, he regretted that move. Classic Buffett: obsessing over a few bucks from 80 years ago.

So, is 94 the new 50? For Buffett, it seems like it. He still drives to work in Omaha every day. No private jet for the commute, thank you very much. He’d rather drive his modest Cadillac. That’s frugal, or maybe just stubborn. Either way, it’s working.
What’s His Secret? (And Is It Cherry Coke?)
People love to ask about his longevity. He says his diet is 30% junk food. He’s famous for drinking five cans of Coca-Cola daily. Let’s be real: if I drank five sodas a day at 94, I’d be a puddle of sugar. But Buffett? He’s thriving. It’s like the man is powered by sheer defiance of logic.

He also eats McDonald’s for breakfast. Every single day. He chooses between a sausage biscuit or an Egg McMuffin, depending on the market. If the market is down, he goes cheaper. Seriously—his breakfast net worth is tied to the S&P 500. That is either genius or madness. Probably both.
And let’s not forget the exercise part. He says his secret is “tap dancing to work.” No gym. No CrossFit. Just joy. I’m not sure that works for all of us, but hey—if it got him to 94 while managing a $900 billion company, I’ll take it.
