At 94 years old, Warren Buffett remains as iconic for his quirky daily habits as he is for his investment genius.
While the Oracle of Omaha prepares for the eventual handover of his investment empire, one thing has remained refreshingly unchanged—his unwavering love for Coca-Cola.
Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is not just a long-time fan of the beverage—he’s also one of its biggest stakeholders.
Through Berkshire, he owns more than 9% of Coca-Cola, a holding valued at over $20 billion. But for Buffett, the relationship is personal, not just financial.
“I drink at least five cans of Coke a day,” Buffett once shared, grinning during a shareholder Q&A. “One at breakfast, two during the day, and a couple more in the evening. It keeps me happy.”
Unlike most billionaires who tout plant-based diets, personal chefs, and workout routines, Buffett’s choices reflect a deeply rooted sense of consistency and simplicity. His go-to breakfast is often a McDonald’s sandwich—paired with a Coke, naturally.
His sweet tooth is also no secret: See’s Candies (another Berkshire brand) and Dairy Queen treats regularly appear at his side during meetings.
Buffett’s fondness for Coca-Cola dates back decades, but it’s not just nostalgia or brand loyalty—it’s part of a personal philosophy. “I’ve always believed in investing in what you love,” he once said. “And I happen to love Coke.”
For some, this sounds like branding. But for Buffett, it’s branding backed by belief. Coca-Cola is not just a product he consumes—it’s a company he understands and trusts.
He first bought shares in the late 1980s after the 1987 market crash, betting on the enduring global appeal of a drink sold in over 200 countries.
Today, even as discussions around sugar intake and health continue to gain traction, Buffett shows no sign of giving up his fizzy favorite.
His steady hand and personal consistency—whether in choosing stocks or soda—have made him one of the most respected figures in modern finance.
As he approaches the twilight of his legendary career, Buffett’s Coca-Cola can has become more than just a drink—it’s a symbol of enduring taste, both literal and financial.
And if anyone’s keeping score, Buffett’s still sipping—and still winning.
