Warren Buffett Reportedly Avoids Water, Prefers Coca-Cola and Fast Food
Warren Buffett, aged 96, reportedly has not drunk water for nearly five decades, preferring Coca-Cola instead. He is known to consume about five cans of Coke daily and enjoys fast food such as burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream. This information comes from billionaire Bill Ackman, who recalled a dinner conversation with Buffett. Buffett’s fondness for Coca-Cola is well documented, including his investment in the company through Berkshire Hathaway. The claim about his water consumption remains unverified beyond Ackman’s account.
