Warren Buffett's car collection is going to make you wonder, because you usually don't expect a billionaire to have one car in his garage, do you? However, Mr. Buffett with a net worth more than $134.4 billion, likes to be more practical in terms of buying a car, rather than having a showcase-worthy collection.
If you look at other billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg etc., they have a pretty cool garage filled with collectible cars, and even millionaires do so. But our rich old investor is different, and Buffett mostly likes to invest in the industry, mostly in US manufacturers, and recently in BYD, an EV giant from China.
In one interview, Mr. Buffett even said that he doesn't like to spend half of his day buying a new car and getting accustomed to it. If the process was quicker, then he may have chosen more cars, but he seems to value his time a lot, and buying multiple car means his time is wasted, considering the mere miles he puts on the odo every year.
Let's have a look at each of the luckiest car models that has made a place in the practical garage of Warren Buffett-
3. 2001 Lincoln Town Car
Back in 2001 if ever someone would look for a luxurious sedan in the city, there’s none other than a Lincoln Town Car as the best American premium sedan. Warren Buffett seems to loves this executive yet silent and comfortable ride quality that the Lincoln comes with.
Here's a photo of the car when he auctioned it off for the donation to a charity. Warren Buffett donated this Lincoln Town car for an amount of around $73,000 via eBay. The exchange amount was donated to Girls Inc, a non-profit organization offering educational and recreational opportunities to girls from the age of 6-18.
