Buffett's evening routine

Warren Buffett watches CNBC in the morning but spends nearly every evening watching YouTube clips on an enormous television in his Omaha home, according to friends.

Not about investing

Friends tell the Wall Street Journal Buffett is hardly ever looking at anything related to investing or finance during his YouTube sessions, though he is a fan of Berkshire Hathaway's own content.

What he actually watches

Buffett watches Glenn Close clips, nineteen fifty commercials, Paul Anka videos, speeches by unknowns, show tunes, railroads, big band era music, Nebraska content and early Frank Sinatra performances from the nineteen thirty s.

Random rabbit holes

Buffett will go down random rabbit holes on YouTube, sometimes coming into his office gushing about a moving amateur rendition of My Way that he has just watched.

“come into his office, gushing about a moving amateur rendition of 'My Way.'”

Sharon Osberg's observations

Sharon Osberg, the three time world bridge champion who has taught Buffett and Bill Gates bridge, is Buffett's frequent viewing companion and describes his range as broad.

Silliest things included

Osberg says Buffett watches really good documentaries on Roy Cohn and the Uzbekistan version of America's got talent, describing his taste as sometimes the silliest things.

“Warren's range is broad. It can be the silliest things”

Charlie Munger clips

Buffett has been watching clips featuring his late friend and business partner Charlie Munger, including a two thousand seventeen appearance at the University of Michigan.

The bond between them

Osberg observes that when Buffett watches Charlie Munger clips, you feel the bond between the two of them, describing it as really quite something.

“You feel the bond between the two of them as he watches Charlie. It's really quite something.”

Not about Alphabet investment

The Wall Street Journal reports Buffett's YouTube habit has nothing to do with Berkshire's big investment in Alphabet, the platform's corporate parent. He just really likes watching the clips.

“He just really likes watching the clips, friends say.”

Slow to adopt, but YouTube fits

Though Buffett, now ninety six years old, is notoriously slow to adopt new technologies, his YouTube habit aligns with a shift from streaming to video clips making YouTube the most watched video provider on TVs…

Lennar stake grows

Berkshire Hathaway added another one hundred ninety two point six million dollars to its bet on homebuilder Lennar late last week, buying shares on Thursday October first and Friday October second.
