Ask Warren Buffett for investment advice, and you might expect the billionaire CEO to tout his long-held stakes in Coca-Cola or American Express. But according to Buffett, who turns 93 today, his Berkshire Hathaway holdings are less impressive than the personal investments he's made throughout the years.
Among the best: the Omaha house he has famously lived in since 1958, when he and his late wife Susan bought it for $31,500, or around $336,700 in today's dollars. But the housing market has grown in value much faster than the rate of inflation—The home is now worth over $1.4 million, according to Realtor.com, which at roughly 4,300% is a trademark Buffett rate of return.
