Billionaire and legendary investor Warren Buffett turned 87 years old on August 30. With a net worth of nearly $77 billion, "The Oracle of Omaha" is currently the fourth-richest person in the world — but he doesn't act like it.
His modest home in Nebraska is worth just .001% of his total wealth and he never spends more than $3.17 on his daily McDonald's breakfast.
To those who knew him from the beginning, Buffett's success comes as no surprise: He was picking out stocks at 11 years old and had amassed the equivalent of $53,000 in today's dollars by the time he was 16.
