Warren Buffett’s son says he didn’t know they were rich

Thekabarnews.com – Peter Buffett, Warren Buffett’s son, said that he did not comprehend how rich they were until he was in his 20s. He remembered seeing his father’s name on the Forbes Billionaires List and being surprised. The incident made his mother giggle.

Peter was raised in a middle-class home that seemed normal. He did not have the luxury lifestyle that his father, Warren Buffett, had. They did not have private jets, homes, or frequent reminders of how much money they had.

Peter did not really understand how rich they were until he was in his 20s. When he saw his father’s name on the Forbes billionaire list and told his mother about it, things changed. It was strange that they did not seem astonished, since their daily lives did not change.

Warren Buffett said that the move was a planned approach. Instead of living a more lavish life, the family went to public school, took public transit, and lived in the same Omaha house Warren bought in 1958.

The Buffett family had a simple goal: to live the life they really wanted to, not the one that society expected them to. There was no pressure on them to show off their money, and the kids did not have to feel special because they were rich.

Warren Buffett worked out of a small room in his house for years without any help. He thought that living a normal life would help his kids find their identities.

Nothing big changed when Peter finally discovered how rich they were. They already knew what their ideals were.

Warren Buffett still lives in the same Omaha house today. His view on riches has not changed: the life you live, not the image you project, is what matters.
