Like they say, less is more.
Cheetos-eating billionaire businessman Warren Buffett — the “Oracle of Omaha” — has listed his longtime Laguna Beach, Calif., home for $11 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.
But if you think Buffett’s listing a lavishly decorated beach pad, think again. Known for living a frugal lifestyle (he once had a license plate that read “THRIFTY”), the home, which Buffett purchased in 1971 for $150,000, is scantily clad.
And while an $11 million beach house isn’t cheap, it’s pennies compared with Buffett’s $75.7 billion fortune (calculated by Forbes).

There also don’t appear to be any large works of art, tables or chairs, which makes the layout look quite open. There’s also a bathroom wallpapered with New Yorker covers.
But a closer look reveals some quirky touches. For instance, a photo of a living area shows a stand-up cutout of the founder of See’s Candies, which Buffett has invested in, according to Luxury Listings NYC.
A shot of another living area, the site also notes, shows an open bottle of Coke, another Buffett investment, on an end table.
The home has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms — five of the latter are en suite. There are also fireplaces, a big kitchen and a roomy family room that opens to an outdoor deck, which looks out to the ocean.
