Warren Buffett doesn't use an iPhone, despite the fact that the firm he founded and runs, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 5.5% of Apple.
Although Apple is Berkshire's largest investment, its founder and leader lacks hands-on experience with the product that accounts for the majority of the company's revenue. However, Buffett does use an iPad to check stock prices and do research. On Thursday, Buffett said that Apple can"afford a mistake or two" when breaking into new markets, including entertainment. Buffett has previously said that his interest in Apple shares is not because of the company's short-term finances, but because he believes it has a strong brand and ecosystem.
...same tired sad old tweet from cnbc. Must be a nat’l holiday?
Its about time you re ran this stale piece of ? News?
Breaking news!
Just stop
Warren buffet should invest in some computer science classes at a community college 📚
The billionare is intimidated by technology 📱
Ahem...It's called a burner phone
This is the 20th time you post this freaking story
What a disgrace
That's made out of solid gold?
You tweet this every three days🤷♂️
burner phone.
Whatever.
So what... who cares...come on... get real...
don't make it status symbol or humiliate iPhone holder.. just think what will happen if all iPhone holder get inspired from Buffet. Bufet is Buffet not just because of that 20$ flip phone.
With his ultra-refined methodology, he won't need anything more complex.
Many people would love to have a modern flip phone but not one that costs $1500. Many people would love to have a modern Blackberry, too.
What code can flip phones code in? Is it C or C++? There are alot of BIG NAME PEOPLE who still use flip phones. I have a feeling that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and many others also carry flip phones. Post if you know for sure.
Because anything else is just an NSA spy tool
That’s good for him
This “content” is from March of last year. 😒. Unfollow.
No quiere ser espiado por realDonaldTrump
How many times are you gonna post this?
Hey remember that part in The Bourne Ultimatum where Jason Bourne drops a prepaid phone into a Journalists pocket so he can talk to him without being monitored?
Why would he need a smartphone? He just needs 1 number, his guy. Call him to ask or get anything. Elitist as can be.
He’s also 90, I’m impressed he has a cell
Smart. No email. No apps. No GPS. No trails except for occasional calls.
As they say dealer never uses. Here smart big investor also. A lesson !
Because he has 100 people using smart phones for him. How many times are you going to repost this lame statement, Banksters?
But what do the people that do everything for him use?
If everyone goes his way than the economy will not run. He invested in Apple as consumers buy Apple products.
So he’s smart enough to know what other people do.
Is it the same one you’ve been reporting on over the last 5 years? Lazy journalism.
Is good
he has a private jet sooo yeah
Omg pls stop tweeting this. I'm starting to hate cnbc. They tweet this 2 times every week
first, he doesn’t use email, that’s a bigger story if anything, so no email, no need for smartphones. People do really dumb things on smartphones anyway. Wasting time on Facebook, Instagram, games, candy crush and the likes. Really Dumb stuff. So who cares.
This story published over and over again! You do not need to be like a type recorder!unfortunately!
Yeah so does my local drug dealer, what’s your point?
I swear yesterday I said Ima dummy down my phones. I have laptop and computer for email and shouldn't be controlled by notifications, but be disciplined with my time
I bet he also uses only the original AirPods as well
Regardless, I bet people take his call...
This literally gets posted every week
Who needs Google when you have servants
What motivates this man to accumulate his billions... surely it’s not a luxurious life ?! 🧞♂️
Breaking News...
I wonder how many cans of coke he drinks. I’m also curious to know what Mark Cuban thinks of wearing suits.
That's why he is a billionaire
Love Buffett, but this is telling about his ability to truly grasp digital transformation opportunities that are driving the market.
But how many assistants does he have that use multiple smart phones 🤣🤣🤣
Only way to combat spyware
20 years from now “Billionaire Warren Buffett has a $20 flip phone in his coffin”
Exactly what does he use it for?🤔🤔🤔
Not because he’s frugal. Because he don’t want apple or google in his damn business.
So, a $20 flip phone works for him. That's good. Would it make his life better, if he had a smartphone? If so, what is his price point? That's how the free market works! I'm sure there could a good Salesman who thinks its worth their while to actually make that sale!
jc6594 He’s old and cheap. Two reasons he is a billionaire. How is this news?
Simple , like all his investments .
The batteries usually last longer ;-)
This some bullshit
Children have run out of things to post so they are posting ones from 2017
Because he has 25 assistants who can do everything for him. He prob only has 10 contacts
OMG! Stop with this article! I won’t click on it so you cash those ads revenues... just stop!
How many times are you gonna recycle this tweet The guy is 100 years old. You don’t have to use everything you invest in
Warren Buffet uses a $20 Samsung flip phone because it's user-friendly for octogenarians.
If I see this story one more time (after hearing it a 100 times) I will go nuts. Who cares what phone he uses?
CNBC...get some new material, we know Buffet uses a flip phone & Gates wishes he wasn’t rich. You can do better.
Of course he does. He is quite aware of everything the majority has no idea of .
lmao boomer
But he does not live paycheck to paycheck, cnbc!
How many times will you tweet this ffs
Flip phones retail for like 75+
Local Grandpa uses old fashioned phone... news at 11
So what!!
That's how you get rich folks. Apple phone =$1000 contract $150.00 Mo.
So why accumulate so much wealth?
👍
Most old folks do
Me too
If he’s not using all of that money he’s got then what’s the point of even having it? Honestly lol.
Who cares?
cnbc why is this such an important news that you keep tweeting ... leave him alone with his cell phone . There are so many better items to talk about !!!
What did he have for breakfast
Why is this a story?
Who gives a shit?
Still playing Captain Kirk with that bad boy eh?
Please post this a few hundred more times. I haven’t seen it enough yet.
He also uses his share of the republican $2 TRILLION Billionaire tax giveaway.
That’s why he’s the SMART ONE...
Me too. I do know that no one is tracking me on my phone or breaking into my accounts...no internet....no GPS. Just simple talk & text.
Warren Buffett and me, baby!
Haha we will still tax you out of billionaire status and we will mock you while we do it haha. Bernie2020
...to the bit bucket...another Sat morning re-run
Invest in companies that the masses love... not the companies you necessarily love. After all it is a popularity contest.
Got anything u haven’t posted 50 times and is more recent that 3-19 ?
His staff have iPhones.
Very smart! While the rest of us are buying $1000 iPhones and paying $400 a month
He’s also an old man. My grandpa also used a flip phone. 🙄
Like you post this everyb2 weeks find some better content.
How does he checks his stocks on the go?
Never seen any of the dinosaurs in Jurassic park using any kind of phone so this one must be special.
Stop posting this already
No. More of this repetitive tweet!
Again ?🤨
More money to buy bitcoin. Smart
bilderberg buffett
it saves a lot... in many contexts...
I mean I would too if I had that kind of wealth. But I use my phone for work so....
Cnbc a major news channel tweets that same thing every week.
I don’t understand this logic .. just buy a phone man cum on
И кетчуп heitz потребляет?)
Is he a shareholder of CNBC ?
DID YOU KNOW THAT?!!!
I think he simply makes money for the sake of being rich , others will spend it for him when he dies
I would love to read his will.
...because he can afford to pay his secretaries thousand $$$ to answer his calls !!
The anti Peter Lynch strategy
I’m sure he has people around him with smart phones
You don't need a smartphone to stay in contact with those that matter most
Dinosaur
RESPECT FOR ALL IS RESPECT FOR YOURSELF,(EVERY ONE)
Wow
africaupdates People think that this is a good thing. It's rather sad. A man that has amassed such a fortune is so cheap. He not only doesn't want to spend money, he wants to take as much of it out of circulation as possible and hoard it is his Scrooge McDuck vault.
Yup. No worry for hacking
IngWalax BraQwajo kojotweets
Okay, now what!
HE HIRES PEOPLE TO DO SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET FOR HIM
My grandma (90) also
africaupdates He is smart, that's why. In addition to being frugal, he doesn't want to be spied on.
Kids, this is how you get rich and stay that way.
CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW US THE $20 PHONE HE IS USING.
Because he's ancient. And can't cope with technological progress like many others his age.
I've seen a Doc. on him, very frugal. Says he shouldn't be able to pay Less taxes than his secretary. Lives in same old house, drives same old car. Won't give 10 thousand to daughter to finnish her Kitchen. Don't a loner or a debtor be.
I call bullsh1t on that....pics or it didn't happen.
He wants to save for the next 4.5 million years
You do not see his car & house! Unfortunately!
I like that...don't crap where you eat
Mr. buffet selling candies to others and himself on healthy herbal diet!
tweets this once a week.
A rich man, who could do so much good by actually buying a new car and a real phone to support those middle class hard working folks...but...no...while he amasses billions he denies the regular folks a few bucks...odd when you think about it...
because he's a fossil 🙃
don’t get high on your own supply
KlayThompson You are onto something sir
This post has to be 10 years old....CNBC=Fake News
10 month old story
HUGE YAAAWWWWWWNNNNN. Have to have seen this tweet at least 50 times .... and still don’t care what kind of phone that Warren uses - especially since it just might be related to his AGE...DUH!
And he also probably has a staff of real people instead of relying on apps email, calendar, messages, or Siri etc. Heck, he probably had his own private Uber person before Uber existed.
....while flying in his G8
This is a March 28 post. Stop sharing it over and over again. It's boring
It likely can’t be hacked........
...and a pager
BoppanaPratibha A Drag Dealer never consumes
Does cnbc think we don't read their tweets. Ive seen it for atleast 10times.
Im surprised he even has a mobile phone.
Who. Cares. I’ve seen this story thousand times for over a year.
Cause he doesn't know how to use a smart phone to his benefit, would be 50x more profitable.... silly boomer
It’s a Jitterbug.
And he’s still right that there’s 0 value in investing in Amazon. $AMZN
That's a generational thing, nothing to do with the tech itself. He's done most of his business and most of his life without a smartphone, I imagine he can keep doing it.
Thats why he is a billionaire
Well remember Warren does have documented learning problems ... ask his wife. He has marvelously over come them with adaptations and adjustments. Thousands use these flip open phones ....very nicely.
That's hilarious..... !
Same junk story and you expect us to read again?
Warren is one of the smartest people on the planet..he knows the fakeness of living online most of the time!
Boomer
Because he's a legend.
And he feels nice to know he can afford but chooses not to. I like that kind of feeling.
Really? Haven’t seen you post this 5,000 times.
The people you want to talk to are less then fingers on your hand!..
I’d probably pay someone else to do all the things I wanted done on a smartphone, too. Hey, jitterbugphones, this seems like a real opportunity, don’t miss it
Definitely a drug dealer.
iPhone
Now that’s some class right there! 📞
WOW..!!!! 🤨🤔🤯That is just to funny 😂😂😂😂
That’s because he knows how to thwart hackers.
He likes it.... “buffett to bridge” ....gets never old.
Can you people get some new content? Same posts over and over and over and over and over... etc etc etc
And cnbc is tweeting this 20 billion times.
And cnbc is twitting this 20 billion times.
If you have the money why don’t you buy something worth it
What's the reason pushing this story quite often ?
He knows....
I guess he doesn't trade stocks on his phone...😁
There is no difference in capabilities. Just common sense.
Wow...some great investigative reporting there CNBC...
i still love the 10CaratBoxingmatch... time for 20? Who’s our targets
The $20 flip phone can’t be hacked. He’s concerned about security and ears listening in on his conversations.
Oh FFS who fucking cares.
He also says he doesn’t pay enough in taxes but he uses strategies to avoid them. A tad hypocritical
He’s older. He does not care about tech like that. He can hire people for that!
It's his burner
Gangsta move for him 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Err ugh.. he’s 89 years old..
bilderberg buffett, putting his money in china and against America, like the typical TRAITOR who only gives a damn about his fat bank account and not an iota for the country
Buffett uses a burner phone!! 👀
Wish I had invested on Apple when Warren Buffet first began investing on Apple
Billionaire mindset, why waste your money on stupid things?....as I type this on an iPhone.🤦♂️😂
He knows only idiots pay the apple tax. The smart ones have apple shares
Here is every Warren Buffett stock compared :
I thought big AAPL stock holders such as Buffett sold their stocks. It is a sign to dump this overvalued AAPL stock as hedge funds are ready. let's see.
Again? Well answer stays the same. He doesn't take selfies, and he has people instead of apps. Like he would need google maps or uber. Shm. A flip phone fits in his pocket better, has a battery you can easily replace (!!) and the screen won't crack. The good old days.....
FakeNewsMedia alert. Please stop cycling this pointless article...
If Buffet had $20 for everytime cnbc posted this story he could get himself a few new Iphones.....
Well if everyone did then his apple shares wouldn’t be worth much
Come on guys that is really old news! Let's move on!
March 2019. You run this weekly. Why ?
Ummmm. So does my 88 yo mother inlaw? they aren’t old school...they are just old.
Omaha style
So what? He has secretaries and people around to help him get whatever info he needs. He essentially does not even need a mobile phone.
Jesus, not this again
schtick
And this is a news story?
We've heard this story like a hundred times already
He is old
So what's the point?
I mean we all got to keep a burner at some levels at our lives.
Why is this reposted every few days? There has to be more stories your social media specialist can report.
appearances
9 month old story that you re-post every week
Warren Buffett is old school EVERYTHING. 🤷♀️
It's yours any better?.. Check your wallet!
And stupid people spending +1000 dollars just to look rich 🤦🏻♂️
check this out good_medora
Me too...... minus the billions. 😁
I dont think he needs the camera function😬
This news leds the sale of iPhone down 😂😂
Ok hmm who cares and I’m unfollowing 👍🏻
So you mean if I use a flip phone I can also become a billionaire?
And his assistants?
I don’t think he carries an AMEX card either but owns 11% of that company
Why has cnbc posted this tweet for the 50th time
Uses a flip phone and wears a gold Rolex? And your point is?
So hes cheap?
Old phone Old house Old car!unfortunately!
He and the companies he holds are cheap. They bilk every last dollar out of them.
Cos he thinks iphone sucks
Ok Boomer, sit down...I’ll show you how to use an iPhone. 😉
this news been published million times now on twitter! this is spam!
He has a private jet so there’s that
Cool. Tax him anyway.
Learned from a movie - you do that so no one can track your calls, location, web activity!
Bcuz Warren knows these smart phones track everything we do
How many times are y’all gonna share this article?!
What a waste
And SOOOOOOOO!
SWAG
FakeNewsMedia alert! Please report actual business news...
Does Buffett own an ev?
He doesnt need to impress anyone
I am sick of reading this tweet since last March tweeting everyday, don’t they have new content to get hits
CNBC has posted this article 34 times in the past 2 years.
You guys are pathetic
Tacańo!
A realist 💯😎✌👌
Done
Watch the Snowden interview with Rogan and you'll know why. Privacy
Is he going to take all the money with him when he dies?
But he travels in style!
The team around him uses iPhone 24/7.
Because his goal was to be rich, not to look like rich
Hey, people like what they like. I still have a cassette deck in my 1997 Ford Ranger, and I love it.
He knows these devices are not good for humans. That y he don’t use one
Probably got an unpaid intern to work a phone when needed
😆😆
Stuck in the past like all boomers are.
Cover news about fires, homeless, mental health and other important things........
And?
This man is in his 80s. Why is this so shocking?!
That's what he tells people, but I bet he has a better phone than that
Duh. Hes old af
He was rich before cellphones. Everyone trying to connect the two should really think about enrolling in a critical thinking class.
I very honestly truly miss my flip phone. I loved the 'open to answer', 'close to end call', etc.
You know why? Very down comment bahhhhhhhhhhh
NoDistractions
😂 😂 😂 this is one of world wealthiest person using $20 phone. I see prudence,
100th time cbnc
Probably because he's 89 years old?
He is a modern hero for generations and he has often shared his views without using the products... you don’t have to use a product to invest in it, but for sure it will benefit other people
I think this picture is a clear reflection of Buffet symbolism ... By the way, I'm not an Apple shareholder but I use the same kind of cell phone as well..I must say and I know that; This is not only a preference but also a mind set and a message
He knows values of money....
fake news,
Yeah his money doesn’t care what phone he’s using
I think this picture reflects deep nodes of Buffet symbolism ... By the way, I'm not an Apple shareholder but I use the same kind of cell phone as well..I must say and I know that; This is not only a preference but also a mind set and a message
He doesn't want his data to be sold over the internet.
That’s why he’s smarter than us
He probably can’t see the text on a smart phone
Rich pple use simple things provided life goes on and on!
Probably because he likes his privacy
He's old *
Millions are like Buffett who don’t know to use today’s savvy phones..so what?
On s en branle
Welcome to last decade
Maybe for side bitches
That is not fare enough. . . Company should give him as largest share holder and to promote their brand.
he couldn’t get a deal ?
'smartphones' = slavery
That's why he's a billionaire.
6 trillions about airpods sales, not profit. But 600 trillions for Apple market value increase during 2019.
Old news, boring
The story must be as old as twiter because you post it every Saturday
He’d trade it in if Becky Quick asked him to.
Yeah he uses coupons too. Nobody cares.
That’s not news fgs.
It's been almost a year, and you're still posting this 😅
Why though?
But, according to AlbertoBernalLe every Rich people in EUA expends all their fortune in luxury and others capitalism excenticities
when u can buy whole orchid , then why u should hold on a single Apple ?
Serious question , how understaffed/under-resourced are you guys? This story is dated March 28, 2019:
The richest people lead modest life while the ordinary people lead a false exorbitant life
This is the very reason why i ll have no phone at all .
True..but also from the movie “Becoming Warren Buffett”, I saw him use an iPad. JustChecking
Find a new story.
As do most senior citizens
Duh . do not care
The clerk at my grocery store brings more value to the world than Warren Buffet.
Yes, and you can add the story that his golf gloves have holes.
Mr. loss?
Too expensive but suckers like it, I am just investing on an old value: fame and social distinction
Really old news CNBC. You do this all the time.
So do I
Just he do'nt want to use it. Tech is too hard for him like his age. Nothing wrong with that. At the same time , no one needs to follow his way.
This is a great example of trickle-down economics not working.
Thanks for letting me know this fact for the 30rd time
Doesn’t matter. He doesn’t need instagram.
Surely. He has no need to impress any1. Can buy the most expensive if he wants to. Money talks loudly /indirectly 2. He doesn’t hve to follow ‘small fries’. 😂
He just don't wanna be tracked ! that's the true ! Yes apple, tim_cook helps to setup and ta da.... let's see where Buffet is eating now ? turn on the mics...ohhh Buffet is farting... now.. He is talking about buy MC coffee... so boring
Just shows how genius works: 'This is a phone. I need it to make phone calls. It makes excellent phone calls. So it does everything I need it to do.'
And he has a few $50K secretaries using smart phones working for him.
How many times is a news agency going to post this about Warren Buffett?
Mr. Buffet, we still need to talk business. Surely you remember those conversations about investments and such, Bob Kraft, GE, and much more....yeah, i know you do...so why are you avoiding me about business?
As a minimalist I don’t do shopping unless I need something, what I do is invest on the market. Your free stock is waiting for you! Join Robinhood and you’ll get a stock like Apple, Ford, or Facebook for free. Sign up with my link.
How many times are you going to post the same article holy fuck
So what?
FAKE NEWS IS TOAST TILL THE CREATE THEIR OWN FAKE NEWS OR EVENT IMO
Has anyone ever asked him to respond to Patrick Byrnes comments that he (Byrnes) went to Buffet and told him the FBI and CIA were recruiting him to set up Trump by engaging in a relationship with Maria Butina? Starts at 3:15
My grandpop still had the same rotory phone of 60 yrs. Meanwhile 2 billion people don't have electricity nor phones. Thanks Warren.
Smart guy. Flip phones are hard to hack.
I'm still using an iPhone 6. When it dies I want another iPhone 6.
He has people (with smart phones) for communication. This is a big ole MEH.
goes for quantity over quality for tweets
You got nothing else to tweet?
If I had a dollar for every time I've seen this article, I might be a billionaire too.
I really feel betrayed and like this is not even America. I don’t understand why it is so difficult for a man to have the life that has rightfully been earned and invested. Isn’t this why we all do what we do? I’m being honest and ethical, and i would hope other business is too
Buffet, i want to ask you, would you steal investments and then brag about it all while leaving the man whom those truly belong to out to go hungry and without shelter all while you pad your ego and portray honesty? seriously? what is wrong with you?
Buffet, you could have given the respect and decency towards business, your level of respect has not been good at all, it’s dishonest, it’s shady, and it’s just outright wrong, because you did not get those investments on your own. that is GOD honest truth.
speak the truth about it, i was an honest and good businessman, and you sir have done wrong to me, you have broken every ethic and honor, why would a man as you be so greedy and dishonest towards business? you should really be ashamed to claim another mans work and investments.
don’t you dare portray to be all you say when you would leave the man who trusted you with those Apple shares to starve to death and be fighting for life. So don’t pretend for the crowds unless you show true honor and loyalty towards me personally.
Warren, i called on you, why would you betray honor and trust ?
Mr Buffet has been holding Apple shares that don’t all belong to him. it’s not about being rude, it’s about the truth, and he’s broken many codes of honor and loyalty by not conducting open and honest business. what kind of man are you? honest or not ?
this is the truth, i was the mastermind behind planning economic growth and finances on MANY companies and markets, and did so flawlessly, and have worked very hard at it, along the way i’ve encountered unethical and illegal practices that has left me fighting for my life.
Mr. Buffets Twitter account was set up by me personally quite some time ago, that’s when things were much more simple, people seemed more honest and sincere, ethics, honor and loyalty meant something, and business was about growth potential and expansion. I’ve always done my part
When CEOs are hired and when investment managers are chosen, it is expected that by both ethics and legal business practices that communications are open and kept honest and true, if we the people are going to keep America great, then values,ethics, and honest business is crucial
My business has not been solely limited to just companies such as Apple, but rather many, and my loyalty towards each and protecting the trade secrets of each was always priority and ethical. I have been the best i know how to be, and speaking honest, God above knows the truth.
Concerning business, i speak openly, Apple for example, because i’ve been such a huge part of it since i was very young, including MAJOR financial decisions, as well as patents for those wonderful touch screens and many other great ideas that i worked with others to achieve.
a general statement to say that if businesses, investors, managers, leaders, or employees begin exhibiting terroristic behaviors of bullying or like it’s a mafia rather than a legitimate US corporation or business then it’s not ethical or legal. Honest American values matter
There were many reasons that i chose Mr. Buffet to be both a chairman on the Gates Fund as well as an investment holder, it’s called trust, honor, loyalty and ethics, of which i sincerely hope still exist in business and in the USA, my opinions lately of this are not so good.
Great minds and leadership, finances, technology, ideas, teamwork, this makes both products and companies great, i can 100% say that i rightfully have a part in Apple and still do just as i have many other businesses, ethics by too many don’t exist now as they once did it seems.
Apple is a company that i have done plenty with, including owning this company, investments in it, and many very important business decisions, as well as hiring CEOs, i can for sure say that i am most certainly not happy about the illegal and unethical business practices.
Mr. Buffet, the truth is that there was a partnership on those Apple shares for you to “manage” them for me, i would certainly like to have those back, that is how business ethics and such are conducted in a legal and honest way.
Breaking News !!!
that's really cool! It just likes a spy plot, using flip phones to avoid being hacked or monitored, awesome
Warren also has cricket
Yet he tweets 60 times a day. Total phoney
Why glorification? Bigoted people.
Block out distractions, this is actually very important, and helpful when building something successful
Seriously!! he will have to bought a shitty electronics company so that it can keep making parts for it..
Ageist BS
Mr. Buffet and myself have done plenty of business, especially with Apple investments and the Gates fund. It has been very difficult getting in touch with Mr. Buffet for quite some time now, i would really like to speak with him in person about things concerning investments.
Mr. Buffet is a “co”-investor in Apple
but he does use an ipad that i set him up with
And his fund has underperformed for years.
I invest in coke but don’t drink it ever. I Invest in Nike but only buy under armor that’s for sure. What’s your point?
A fool and his money are soon separated. Buffet is no fool.
WHY WHY WHY does this crappy tweet keep getting posted
Cool he’s also like 200 years old
😴😴😴
Of course! It's understandable bcos he's not a digital native.
Can someone gift him a phone alright,we've been hearing this story for ten years
But his 15 assistants all have multiple iPhones.
For safe calls You don’t want a be interrupted when placing a billionaire trade
Reminds me of Sam's ole beat up pickup.
I used to look up to this guy
GILKJONES what does this mean?
Simplicity
nowadays, only his flip phone can work well.
For phone calls only
How do you invest in those things?
Dont be fooled by his humility, buffett is a shark. He doesnt own a private plane himself, he owns fucking netjets. He doesnt drink any fancy things, he likes cherry coke, and he owns a shit lote of coca cola company, shark.
Dude...enough of this. We've been told Buffet uses a flip phone for about 25 years in a row now. Nobody cares.
Well he is 89 years old...
I need to get one but how will I play my songs no.
Saving for retirement. Smart man
It's called simplicity!!!
Recycling the same content again and again lol
Who cares!!!
He buys TP at Costco and drinks coke from the can
Warren is so cheap he has an outhouse at his home in Nebraska and uses telephone book pages to wipe his butt. This is a true fact.
Warren Buffett is out of his mind.
So does Gibbs
This guy is a psycho. Don’t be fooled by his clever investment decisions. He has $100 billions but lives like a bus driver..!!
He likes to drink coke though. What a paradox...
Why is this news every weekend. These same posts every weekend are stupid.
Burner phones
I totally understand his passion is basic investment but at this point in life why? He has all the money in the world to travel but lives in Nebraska eating McDonald’s
My dog ❣️
Because he’s brilliant. Doesn’t need to waste money on the newest, shiniest, latest new toy.
Wow... Big deal ..
This fool is slingin'!
Because he doesn't want to be monitored 24/7 ...he's smarter than us!
I like that attitude. Expensive phones are about stealing the personal information of the owner. So why use them? WarrenBuffett
whereshunterbiden
HE DOES NOT NEED A SEARCH ENGINE BECAUSE HE HAS OTHER PEOPLE DO THE SEARCHES FOR HIM FOR PAY
This is his house phone .
Just buy encryption phones duh
So in the end being super rich is literally pointless, he might as well just be on social security doing nothing
What’s the point ?
Sick
And a $5000 satellite phone.
Can’t stand my I-Phone 10.... flip phone would be better
right, but his assistants all carry 6 iphones
THIS “NEWS ITEM” IS SO OLD THAT THEY PROBABLY DON’T MAKE THAT PHONE! Get with it and post something relevant-
Why do I always see this? 😏
Humbling.
This has been discussed for years. Why do outlets recycle stories?
Then why doesn't he give all of his wealth away, since he doesn't even use it.
A lot of old people do that...
He was investor
Move on
So do I. Except I'm not a Billionaire. Smart phones are too expensive!
This tweet should be dead by now.
How many times are you guys going to post this story ?
You have been using this story for months
You would think Cook would hook him up with something better...
Cool.
But he has people who use their smartphones for him, like a live action Alexa.
relax, we dont need a recycled article.
Dude we’ve been knowing this for years now
And lives in Omaha.
And he thinks he understands Bitcoin to coin names for it, with that ridiculous levels of understanding of modern technology that he has!
Burner
How many times will this story be published?
Yes yes. We all know how simple, frugal and folksy old uncle warren is. His employees suffer but we shouldnt let get in the way of everybody's perception of the doddering old lovable financial yoda.
And therefore?
a major media company posts this same fucking story every month. Something something don’t order avocado toast.
He’s wise! He can’t be tracked like the rest of us
So what - I invest in Starbucks but prefer Nero
Isn't that the fella whose wife set him up with another lady while she went off to pursue a singing career?
globalist point man bilderberg buffett
That’s so cute😊
Smart man 😄
Which cannot be hacked at all 👌
And my poor ass with a brand new iphone
How many times will the criminally corrupt cnbc pump $ dump boiler room operation disguised as “business news” print this same stupid story, nobody GAF about this clowns phone
Oh good, I missed this the other 50 times you tweeted this
That's why he's a billionaire.
Nothing wrong with a flip phone!!!!
FakeNewsMedia Why does this non-newsworthy story keep popping up in my feed? Apple hatred?
Why Why does this useless tweet continue to appear week after week? Twitter
Cause he is Grandpa
Dude don’t want to get spied on simples
Give the story a rest. If he wants to use a $20 flip phone, so be it.
lhumphries13 And, this is a story why?
No wonder he was late on the apple share and missed a lot of tech stocks. Very expensive to surround yourself with yes men.
HE DOES NOT NEED A SMART PHONE BECAUSE HE HAS PEOPLE DO HIS RESEARCH FOR HIM
He is a boomer
He’s like me
He also does a toss up between a 2$ or 3$ bkfst at McDonald's & lives in Nebraska.
That’s because he is so old. Hard to learn the new technology. Does he use a computer I wonder?
Superpeople vs. The Schlubs retread
Billions do not erase years.
He’s never been a tech guy.
Then he is out of touch and stupid?
This doesn’t make him smarter or thrifty. He’s just old. My mom doesn’t know how to FaceTime but I don’t write articles about that
a burner?
Could it be that; can’t hack a $20 flip? Just asking..
Given his decades in business, he can afford to use a flip phone as he can call X Y or Z ceo or cfo and they take his call he doesnt need to do any online stuff with his phone cause he does that crazy thing called talking to ppl. He also reads the papers same info from an app.
BECAUSE HE HAS NO TIME TO SEARCH FOR ANYTHING. HE HIRES PEOPLE TO SEARCH FOR HIM
It’s as if CNBC lives off of this guy’s lifestyle, why do I care what phone he uses? Will you tell me what type of cheap toilet paper he uses too?
Because a phone doesn't define who he is. He got nothing to prove as well.
Tujuan nya adalah menjadi kaya, bukan terlihat kaya
He is a nerd, a geek! First time I heard him talking and he is!!!
No way !!!
你的意思是 他在用20快借的样机?
The simple the better
That’s why he’s worth $87 billion & not $86,999,999,980
and his secretary use 10 smartphones for him 🤣🤣
And people actually listen to him when he says bitcoin is bad. I would love to hear him explain it to us.
This guy is going to teach us how technology is going to change the world? Bitcoin ethereum ? Give me a break. There is time and place for what used to work in investment wisdom. You have to constantly update yourself with what’s going on in the world.
will be a old one were you cant listen in on it or track it
Lol ok
For him, it's the difference between paying .0002 cents or .008 cents for a phone. Dude's such a dildo.
Who cares what he uses, where he invests his money? It's his life, his money, his choice!
So do I. Big Deal! 🙄
He knows apple customers overpay for their products and I agree I would never pay $800 for an iPhone or any phone
I have the latest iPhone and computer systems, and Laptops, but my side-kick is a flip phone I keep 24/7 by my side, paid less than £10 UK 8 years ago and it’s pre-pay.
So old,old news
And this man passes comments about Bitcoin! No wonder he doesn’t get any of it! 🙄
Hence why he has money
Do you really expect people who invest in $AAPL to be familiar with their products
Great idea; he doesn't need a side companion as 99.9 percent of people do; he is totally competent.
Hey, me too!
I have one also. Use it.
Because smart phones spy.
Maybe he doesn’t want to be tracked?
Cuz he’s old ?
Why is this 'story' run over and over?
Too bad for him. Missing all the fun.
His staff has them so...
How many times, over how many weeks are you going to post the same articles?
Hey! But can afford the best. Warren tells us n a subtle way: 'don't hve to prove a damn thing to U'
He does not trust an iPhone as his trade secrets would have leaked if he had used one.....
Please stop.
Warren buffett loves playing 'flip phone in my pants' with gay barry Obama! And only for 20 bucks! OMG! SCORE! $$$$
He is gay. Obama stole ol' Warren's mac daddy phone in the gay men's bathhouse. ...where Barry is king! Omg!
Because he don’t want to be tracked!!! Brilliant
THIS guy used his unsecured cellphone to conduct US Government business. THEN.........He used his IPHONE to tweet an attack on APPLE. Guess that's another thing he didn't know.
How many times are you going to do this story?
Who cares😫
BECAUSE HE HAS PEOPLE WHO DO THE SEARCHES FOR HIM SO HE PAYS THEM WHAT IS CHEAPER. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT HIMSELF
Okay so what should we do?
2 of my apple devices crashed in one month. I will not buy another Apple device
He’s also like 200 years old
Why is that news? So what. We are dirt fucking poor and use a free government phone. So what!
I keep telling my kids any phone will do, but they are not billionaires,so they want iPhones.
Slow news day.
CrashDavisInc Should be word for this life style.What is it?
CrashDavisInc What is the terminology in English people use for it when the reach people don’t show that they are and opposite the poor people show that they have expensive phone,car,closes
Unlike Trump and Doral, he doesn’t want to appear to have a conflict of interest? But he does drink Coca-Cola!
You won't hear about data breaches an hackers amongst the big dawgs, at least on a personal level.
Old news
dmuthuk as you said personality and investment are two different things.
The reason: they see no value in the technology.
I’m 62 and play in a large golf group. I’m one of the babies. Over 40 guys and 90% of them use flip phones.
Why? Radiation ? 5G kills.
Seitz is in good company
Get new content. Jesus
How many times you should post this ?
This is crazy
How many times am I going to see this story on my feed
if you asked me to guess what kind of cell phone he used, i would've said a flip phone. lol
He also doesn’t pay himself a salary to avoid paying taxes. I would as well but, I also wouldn’t complain about income tax rates.
He is smarter than any smart phone.
Kinda like makes sense to me...
major apple top buyer
yakan biar gamudah disadap wkwk
He also goes to same McDonald’s drive thru every morning.
Can you tell how much his watch worth?
breaking news!
JabariJYoung Warren Buffett has a burner lol
No billionaires please ...
Old people love their jitterbugs.
What does he need a phone for?
Old news
Old tweet. But I am sure he doesn't need to text/book appt/book flight/use gps/pay bills etc. His secretaries take care of it. Rest of us can't afford secretaries have to rely on cheaper Options. IPhones. I don't know why he even has a flip phone. Landlines would do.
How many times are the media outlets going to report this Ask yourself, does he live in a $20 house? Wear $20 clothes, watch, get a $20 hair cut
That’s all anyone needs When you actually communicate with people
If apple keeps kowtowing to China I will also go back to using a flip phone
What’s next, are you going to tell us he uses a pencil instead of a pen? Oh, wait, he has a iPad “to check stock prices and do research.” “He even has an iPhone X — he just hasn’t set it up yet.”
He's not one of the sheep's he wants to earn from. His business maths are. If we have a lot sheep's on planet then I earn a lot. So I need to invest in my sheep's to. History never changed human race just Technik become further. I guess he's a communist 😂
Kinda cool. Kinda dumb
Somebody told me smart guys may invest in huge real-estate ventures, but where they live will be simple and functionally just adequate to their needs! If you spend your investment returns on yourself 'unnecessarily', it is rather waste of your basic investment knowledge!
I bet that all his employees prefers smartphones WarrenBuffett
That’s part of the reason he’s a billionaire
We know. He's austere. Quit telling us that like a $20 flip phone is going to solve our financial problems individually or collectively. The wealth divide in this country is indicative of impending collapse. See also: every society that's ever gotten to this point.
if that guy start a new life now with only 1k capital and the same state of mind he will loose all his money and live on food stamp
Less radiation
He knows they listen and track him if he had iPhone.
I would like to get that phone... may have a value in the future 😬
Thay have no life. No i phone no Rolex no rang rover no lambos . Thay uses $20 dollar phone end $20 watchs end old Volvo cars , but thay have miliones in the bank. Fuck this kind of life
Geezer, how does he use Instagram on that?
He also uses Ireland as a tax haven
Can't be hacked fuckers
holy shit! how does he take his eggs? over easy?
When is the last time this guy had to answer his own phone or better yet had to make a call himself without asking someone else to do it? At his level, who cares!
Someone just say it, the man is tight fisted.
That’s just stupid
Cheapo
Wow! Super interesting fact! Great info as usual from CNBC!
There's a lot of good reasons to not carry a smartphone around
This dinosaur and the likes who have profited from government money printing are about to becomes exitict by a metiorite of EPIC proportion named BTC!
Yea because he’s 300 years old and doesn’t invest in tech because he doesn’t understand it. Surprised he ditched his carrier pigeon for a flip phone tbh
That’s why his crypto currencies are safe
He missed Amazon, Facebook, Google and Netflix. The same reason he's goin to miss Bitcoin as well.
Smart.. he doesn’t want to be traced
xmoons He's doing business on that phone. If I had Billions, i wouldn't care about smart phones as I fly away on my private jet that's also a yacht
_PabloMB
That burner phone is essential
this is how cnbc tries to fool people into buying apple stock...gtfoh
Now, that's exactly why I want to be Warren when I grow up!
Pretty clever, get a lot of dividends from Apple shares which rockets because of poor stupid people paying crazy prices for Apple to show themselves big... Whilst he enjoys the profit from the stupidity of poor crazy people..... BRILLIANT.
Apple 🍎 IPO in 1980. Buffet invests 37 yrs later (2017) staring at $129 per sh. and still makes 90%+ Div.
Lógico
YOLO
Fake news
That's apple is losing it's users.
MustacheTommy That’s typical of guys who sell drugs, call in hits, use prostitutes or are a spy...maybe he hates blockchain cuz he wants to keep his transactions private 🤔
My dealer uses the same phone
Thats probably why he gets so much done
yea cause he's a geezer who's not interested in learning anything technological
Cant track those old relics
It's understandable. The guy can hardly see.
I remember the last time they made fun of Buffett for not going all in on Internet stock in ‘99 and ‘00.
MustacheTommy But in his basement he has a NASA space station mission control set up to track stocks investments and the like lol imo
His an old man, no surprise there! bitcoin xrp
RT : Billionaire Warren Buffett, a major Apple investor, uses a $20 flip phone. Because its hard to steal ones identity through a flip phone. warrenbuffett
And he talks about Bitcoin 😂😂😂
Let the old guy alone . It’s natural that on that age someone resists naturally to change
So does every Actor in every Movie and T.V. show I've ever seen
MustacheTommy Because he's smart
Correlation is not causation. Dude is just old and doesn’t understand tech. He also eats breakfast at McDonald’s every day. You know who else has flip phones and eats McDonald’s. POOR PEOPLE 😂
Yes, and you too will become a billionaire if you use a flip phone
Yeah and he probably only turns it on to make a call. Classic grandpa move. I love this guy.
I didnt use a smart phone until 2018 and then mostly to investigate how interactive IMSI catchers work as part of a much larger investigation into clandestine use of radio weaponry by authorities. Prior I had cellular service but then as now unless using it stays off. Microwaves.
Can u start running this story every 15 minutes geez I’ve seen this 100x already
Hello Warren Buffett Hw are you i am Dehli in India plz help my family plz i traust you i am no froud no feck plz help my family plz my email id Contact you my family problam send you plz help me plz gehlot.anwar1980gmail.com i traust you i am no froud plz help Warren Buffett
Because of security.. You can't do anything to that phones remotely, it's just archaic and too primitive to spy them.. Only location.. That is all.
Who cares
He is aware of the surveillance capacity of the smart phone 📱 🤔
how about doing a story on all the methods he and his companies use to cut their tax bills? Maybe even all the cost cutting measures he brings when he buys a business. Maybe then the public could get the total picture.
Hard to Hack.
Because he’s amazing
Let’s all chip in and get him an 11 pro.
Good reason why he's still sane.
ALL HE DOES IS MAKE CALLS DOES NOT USE THE INTERNET APPARENTLY
His old
Islam58300889
JEEP just every esstentail part
...PGP... Pretty Good Privacy...😎
Reminds me a lot of Mr. J. Paul Getty as portrayed on the movie All The Money In The World.
He probably has staff to take of things for him.
Smart guy, hard to hack him .
I own McDonald’s stock but rarely eat McDonald’s.
Who cares?
Maybe he hates iphone
¡O sea, un potecito!
Apple should just give him one phone for free for the sake of marketing.
Guessing he doesn’t use Twitter on his phone either.
Who cares. He’s to old to learn how to text
Cause he’s the man. Bring back flip phones.
Not smart
I have 2 Nokia s. $ 50 each. too low tech to understand and use the iPhone 11 or 10 R, S, T, all 26 alphabets soon 😀
Honestly, I would too if I had an army of employees doing everything for me. If I ran a HedgeFund I wouldnt look at a single screen unless being presented with data. Id shout out questions to the minions and have them deliver the information promptly so that I can make decisions.
🙄🙄🙄
He is rich, but his life is boring
Who cares
Why should he bother⁉️
Lovely⁉️
Many criminals use burners.
It’s called living by your “needs” and not your “wants”.
I am so happy I didn’t waste time trying to be a billionaire so that I would do the same with my life.
Having more wealth does not grant anyone the privilege to violate our lives by spying on us without our knowledge. It does not give the billionaire class the right to use any information collected illegally against us which includes medical records and private conversations.
What is Warren Buffet doing here by admitting he’s aware of the spyware while maintaining his stock portfolios of technology companies that could be potentially violating privacy laws. More specifically if wealthy civilians were given privileged access with spy malware.
He can' t be hacked that way.
Who cares. So does my mom. And she’s broke
Has Berkshire county installed 3G/4G base stations?
He also wipes his ass with dried leaves 🍁
I would too if I had a secretary.
And also an IPad
but is 10 EA's use 5 iphones each. I remember you running a story similar, no exactly like this, about Bill Gross.
BNSFRailway
By getting into Apple shares, he obviously violated his investment principles. He got into a business he doesn't much understand nor use.
Buffet owns utility company & worked with local officials to make it that if you have solar power that you are penalized & cost so much that people are disconnecting them. Time to finally raise there taxes & get rid of loopholes
he doesn't need a smart phone. when one have a chauffeur, one does not need GPS on the phone. i mean this guy's 'apps' are called employees.
Probably smart.
I Think for phone calls only all we need is a phone. All these smart phone are production killers and are really a computer in our hands
He knows the destructive capacity of the smart phones 📲
😱wow, worthless headline...
DeuceDelano
If you see a normal person with a flip phone they’re a drug dealer. If you see a billionaire, they’re being “humble” & “frugal”. It’s a burner phone in either case you dummies.
Like who gives a f. Dam how many times your all going to tweet this
Ask him is he going to take all the money with him . Or may be he is not tech savvy
Nothing but a menace to society he has been involve with tobacco for years. Vote Warren for President for more visit
He knows that there's little the NSA can do with an old guy using a burner phone
In other news, Warren Buffett, a major Apple investor, is 89 years old.
And so what
Well, he didn't become rich using and iphone
Click bait
I heard he uses a $15 Beeper.
He knows.
Flip phone, who would hire him?
that’s his own issue. allow us to use whatever phone we want to use.
Now we know his secret of being a billionaire.
Warren is so smart!
Who cares he’s old
If you have 24/7 assistants and drivers, you don’t need an Iphone. Flip phones are for the 0.1%
No surprise. It all depends what do you do with your phone. If you only call friends and family, that's OK.
Pr stunt? Nice to enjoy the smartphone even if it's on a 2 year contract.
Understand why. With his type of Money...( much) needs not try to impress anyone abt anthing. Warren I like tht.
What do his key aides use?
This is a true businessman that knows that excesses don’t work any better. Why do you think Warren is many times richer the Trump. Buffet does not have to negotiate debt or financing which is a drain on income. With his debt to income ration he’s small beans.
Invest in crypto
I Do NOT trust ANYBODY over 50 when it comes to COMPUTERS!!!
This story is at least 5 years old
Well illuminatis don’t want to be catch on the same trap they create to people right!!!
He also eats McDonald’s for breakfast every day. Who cares? You won’t become a billionaire if you use a flip phone. I also heard Carl Icahn likes to scratch his ass and smell his fingers. Maybe I’ll start doing that too
I find it hard to believe. This is bullsh*t!
Watch him get a blockchain phone next. 😅
He probably doesn’t know how to work the Apple iPhone 10/11
And three six figure personal assistants, plus a staff. Come on , do better and drop the click bait crap!!!
chickilopiccolo Doesn't Apple make products other than phones? If all his companies use Macs does Apple care he doesn't have an iPhone?
chickilopiccolo And? He didn't get to be a billionaire by spending his stock dividends on products he doesn't use just because he invested in the company.
The most frugal man alive I think
best choice I have ever heard
Just upgrad already!
Fancy phones are too distracting.
No incentive for him to adopt new technologies
Meaningless piece of information
Lucky.
Me too! Well.....just the flip phone part. ;)
This is what your 'smart phone' is doing in the background. Think of this as outgoing calls trading your information. Smart people know this.
And people wonder why he doesn't like Bitcoin...
Utility versus profitability. The free market often dictates that the best investment doesn't always denote a product we necessarily need ourselves.
Pretty sick of the modest nice old guy narrative you all continue to build around WB. He represents all that is wrong with capitalism today. One man overly benefiting from the system as corporates buyback trillions and wage growth GROSSLY underperforms ROI.
He is money savvy, not gadget stupid.
😅 Fewer distractions!
Big deal. I eat Maruchan, even though I can totally afford Top Ramen. 💰
Its called a throwaway
This is why he has all the money he does… This is old-school conservatism
Do you know why? Because you can’t hack it.
Meanwhile, on same planet..
Dude, he’s like 80-90 years old. I bet he’s got a huge staff armed to the teeth with smartphones!
Said in another way, 'Old man doesn't know how to use new technology'
Can’t hack a flip phone smart man
They switched ghouls on me.
He's probably very wise - not wasting time on social media or checking his phone constantly. I'd say if more people did this they'd get much more done with their days.
Easy when you have a dozen assistants doing everything for you.
So what? He also plays bridge. So what?
Less is more. (As I tweet about a dumb article from my iPhone)
Even a billioner has to have good Stars To Enjoy Fruits of His Labour. cnn wsj ghetimes bbc cbc cgtn
Yeah so what.
extremebroker How much dollar do his cars cost ? how many house does he have ? he uses $20 flip phone , cos' he did not get use to smart phone technology !
I hear he sleeps under a bridge .
Nobody cares.
Isn't this the same guy that said his secretaries pay more in taxes or was that the other rich guy?
100 % he trapping off it too😂
Bs
I don’t give a single shit what kind of phone he uses
He is too stupid to use a smart phone
He has a nice share of Apple, I have an IPhone - mind the difference. I would swap anytime.
He's old and doesn't have to use much data to make business decisions because he doesn't run a very sophisticated business. He's good at compounding, which he will tell you himself. So, who cares if he uses a flip phone or eats at McDonalds or has 10 Coca-Colas a day?
My experience working with her was fabulous I have been making good profits with her good work and trade techniques. If you have been passing through hard time financially then you need to make contact with Kimberly Kimberl30007956
To be successful in life it take sacrifice and hard work when you have an opportunity to step on top of your game you have to grab it with both hands I have been scammed before giving up is an not an option I kept searching until I found a legitimate account trader Kimberly
And this is news how?
But Buffett has personal assistants and secretaries I do not. an Iphone or any smartphone is cheaper than a personal assistant.
oscarhabeenzu
Misplaced priorities, what the point of even having a billion if you can’t better yourself or have the finest things in life. I guest he is afraid of dying less rich than he is now!!!
So he's an idiot... Good to know
At his age and stage he has nothing to loose with or without a smart phone so what the fuck?
He needs to get a life 😂
Does he still use dial up too?
The reason why he is so rich...
He is Jew !!
Just because he doesn't understand technology.
Good for him
having used smartphone , he might have bought Apple, Amazon and Google much earlier. Still he has not bought google and Amazon. Instead he bought Heinz Craft. Lol. Grandpa lost his edge.
“Old man doesn’t use a smart phone” wow what a shocker...
An iPhone can HEAR YOU, SEE YOU, and KNOWS exactly where you are. Anyone remotely important, or at large in the world, will regret carrying it one day.
Thus, no one can watch him (through the camera lens), listen ( via the mic), or track his whereabouts. He is smart. Anyone this important should not be walking around with tracking device called the iPhone. Fuck You iPhone, yea, you heard me.
How eccentric of Mr. Buffett! Yet I can't think too ill of this consummate businessman who has led the way regarding philanthropy and encouraging noblesse oblige among the affluent. ThinkDifferent
That's how you accumulate wealth, you don't buy 1000 dollar iphones
id understand what's with the obsession of politician carrying keypad , flip , phones. I think that somewhere is a show off to the public of having an old model to make them think they 're in fact not thinking of themselves ? I get that vibe from my father ?
Still running this story from like 5 years ago
Is it a burner😆
Nobody cares. Find a new obsession.
Because the people who work for him carry them, duh.
So what’s the issue ? Investing in a company does not mean I have to embrace and believe in thier products.
So sick of hearing about this guy, so what he is weird.
This phone cannot be hacked!
Not surprised. Prob carries a check book too.
His next flip will be in a nursing home He is coming down with a disease called MONEY CRAZY 😉😉😉
Warren and Danny flip phone icons😂😂😂
mr_jettlife burner
They're making a comeback. Bought my moms one. Albeit it was 50 bucks
Not read. I bet he has people to make and to take his calls..
His assistants all have the 10
What else is he gonna do, live like dan bilzerian? Have 4 smart phones and travel every 5 days? He loves math not burning through daily technology products blowing cash 💰 hahaha
If Hillary had won, he would have invested in a flip-phone company and the had laws that would have created a tax for some (us 99%) who prefer non-flip phones. The flip-phone stock would soar and media would wonder how he did it. Living Largesse
THIS is called, knowing what your needs are.
So if I start using a flip phone will I acquire massive wealth in 20 years? So tired of Warren Buffet being portrayed as ‘frugal’. He’s filthy rich!!!! 🤑🤑🤑WhatsYourPoint BILLIONAIRE
Because he’s really old
Just because you invest doesn’t mean you have to consume their services or products. Why do you think he is a billionaire
Conventional business person love to talk directly and much fewer using smart phone or social media. It’s a common case. No surprise .
It's called a jitterbug
Be that as it may... If I recall correctly, he's purchased a private jet in the past as well, which I'm sure he actually utilizes (fuel costs a lot as well). Had he spent $700 less on his $20M jet (I believe this was the number, roughly), he could own the latest smartphone also.
That’s so funny?
...because he doesn’t have to anything the rest of us have do ourselves using our phones....maps, emails, etc. why would he have an iPhone?
If he will start using smart phone, may be Apple then he will be able to make few billions more!!
old money which is good now. But if he doesn't smarten-up... he will end-up digitally poor... paper billions will NOT mean A THING... I bet his kids r into crypto...
great whatever
Warren is an American treasure
What is the brand of the 20 dollar flip phone? Nokia? Then i will invest in nokia
Buffett is very weird, no one will follow your weird personal habits. No one just drinks Coke, or no one just spends $3 at McDonalds breakfast. And no one only spends 20 on a cellphone, just stop with these weird dories. iitrtg
may be too much stock in Wallmart. :v
You know Trump has done a good thing when the media report shit like this
Wow. Real edgy and intense journalism there.
Will he set a trend?
Really doesnt believe in the product does he. Oh well. Moneys money right
It’s not because he is cheap or Apple is bad. He is Buffett. He leads one of the biggest investment firms. Of course he will be constantly under cyber attack to be spied on. He is using a phone that cannot be attacked by malware. He’s smart.
Whats special about it?
No way that’s too much that I will call a miserable
My father is also using $20 phone, so what? This is just a sign that he doesn't know how to use smart phone
Yup it's better to buy apple share than to buy iPhone at such rediculous price
Seems like that's counterintuitive to investing in what you use.
Aiy!
🙄
Buffett never really understood Apple until the P/E trend was to obvious to ignore. Had he used iPhone while Jobs was alive, he’d have a grasp of its vast utility.
That’s the illegal activity line😂
😁
This is no problem at all! Why would he need expensive phone when people around him made the phone? He is right
But I bet he has a pc and thinks he's safe with his antivirus and firewall LoL.
He’s old.
Of course he does! 👏😂
Pathetic
Is it an Obamaphone?
Like every other person his age.
Smart. Apple phones over priced. Great marketing.
If I had his money I ues one to
I really can’t get this man. He’s third wealthiest man in the world. And drive an old car now the phone is flipping wtf.
Great. When I make half of what Buffett is worth I too will start using a flip phone 😂😂😂
He is a dinosaur
Slow news day at today, huh?
That's probably the safest phone in the world in terms of security. Every American should use it so they don't have to worry about national security.
Simple, effective voice communicators. Why complicate?
Maybe THAT's why he's a billionaire ? ! ? He doesn't buy SHIT he doesn't need ! ! And recognizes THIS before he buy it ! !
I follow you for substantive business news, not this BS. It’s a new business day, and there is news. Give us that rather that this crap.
Poor guy, sympathies.
My sisters husband uses oneto except his has an antenna on it whatever that is you know those free government phones It’s about 15 years old
So what? Are we supposed to infer some type of superior virtue from this?
👍
What statement is he trying to make by using that?
He's tight as a ducks ar53
What is his no? Ask Satoshi Nakamoto give him a “poison call..”
It is not by chance that he is a rich man!
Dummy
Clever man 😀😀😀
CNBC: No one cares about Warren Buffett using a flip phone, remind Americans about him voting for Hillary & losing.
How are we going to get Buffett's nudes if he won't use a smartphone? bezos
He’s also 88. Most people that age use flip phones
Probably because of no Tracking device 🤔
scottyj11
And? Most drug dealers aren't drug addicts...
Overrated. He became rich coz he bought CocaCola stock and live like a pauper. He's 128yrs old n STILL working. If u park 1bil in some bond, u can get 30mil after new years eve party every year. Isnt that enough? All billionaires are greedy bastards pretending to be generous.
When Warren first met Bill Gates, he only owned one stock and had no use for a computer. A mobile phone and a new stock sounds like progress.
Is it just me or does anyone else get tired of this folksy crap about Warren Buffett?
May be for security and privacy issues..
He’s a typical older person that doesn’t want to learn the new technologies
