Warren Buffett, the “Oracle of Omaha,” is known for his smart investment advice, but at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, he also made the audience laugh with his humor. Here are five funny moments that stood out:
- Buffett’s Secret to Long Life: Coke, Not Crunches
Warren Buffett held two cans of Coca-Cola on stage and joked about his unique lifestyle. He said, “At 94, I’ve been able to drink whatever I like and do whatever I want—and I’ve proved everyone wrong about what should’ve happened to me.” He also mentioned that he and his late partner, Charlie Munger, stayed healthy by skipping the gym. - Charlie’s Hypothetical Sex Change for Longevity
Buffett made a funny comment about aging and Charlie Munger: “When you reach 115, it’s almost certain you’ll die, especially if you’re a man. Women hold all the records. I even tried to convince Charlie to have a sex change so he could live longer. And he did pretty well for being a man.” - The No-Exercise Rule
Buffett shared his thoughts on exercise: “Look at athletes, their careers are short. Charlie and I never worked out much—we just focused on staying healthy.” - On Preparing His Successor
When asked about whether he was waiting to invest so his successor, Greg Abel, could shine, Buffett joked: “I wouldn’t do something so noble as to hold back my investments just so Greg could look good later on.” - Buffett’s Lucky Birth
Buffett said, “The luckiest day of my life was when I was born in the United States. If I were born today, I’d just keep negotiating in the womb until they agreed to let me be born here.”
Buffett’s wit and humor always make his appearances memorable!
