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.
