Warren Buffett Still Sips Coca-Cola and Snacks at 94 — and He's Not Apologizing for It
At 94, legendary investor Warren Buffett made his final appearance at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting on May 3, holding two cans of Coca-Cola and a box of chocolate — a nod to the indulgent habits he’s never been shy about.
"I can drink anything I want at 94," Buffett joked as he took a sip from a can of Coke during the 60th annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska.
Despite decades of warnings from health experts about sugary drinks and processed snacks, Buffett has long dismissed concerns about his unconventional diet. His late business partner Charlie Munger, who lived to 99, shared a similarly relaxed approach to health.
"Charlie and I never really exercised — we just tried not to do things that would hurt us," Buffett quipped, drawing laughs from the crowd.
According to reporters at the event, the press area was stocked with chocolate candies and a fridge full of soda. Buffett pointed to the wear and tear athletes experience as a reason he avoids sports like baseball or basketball, arguing that excessive exercise may pose its own risks.
Buffett has famously maintained the same daily routine for years: driving himself to work with McDonald’s breakfast in hand, drinking up to five cans of Coke a day, and topping it off with Dairy Queen ice cream. He’s also known to snack on hot dogs, potato chips, popcorn, cookies, and candy.
His investment firm reflects his personal tastes. Berkshire Hathaway owns major stakes in Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz, and has acquired companies like See’s Candies and Dairy Queen — two brands Buffett is particularly fond of.
"Happiness plays a big role in longevity," he told an interviewer in 2023. "And I’m a lot happier when I’m drinking Coke and eating chocolate and hot dogs."
At the close of Saturday’s meeting, Buffett surprised shareholders by announcing he would step down at the end of the year. Though retiring from active leadership, he said he still hopes to serve as an advisor when needed.
“I’d like to still be around and be helpful from time to time,” he said.
Buffett has spent more than 50 years transforming Berkshire from a struggling textile manufacturer into a $1.16 trillion conglomerate, owning nearly 200 subsidiaries and managing a $264 billion stock portfolio.
According to Forbes, Buffett’s net worth is estimated at $168.2 billion, nearly all of which is tied to his shares in Berkshire. He has pledged to donate nearly all of his wealth to philanthropic causes after his death — and he still doesn’t plan to sell a single share.
