But he doesn't spend like one. He famously still lives in the Omaha, Nebraska, [house he bought](https://money.com/this-is-how-much-it-costs-to-live-next-to-warren-buffett/) in 1958 for $31,500. And, according to a new [story](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/warren-buffetts-two-omahas-2015-05-19?page=1) by *Market Watch*, he's a long-time patron of Omaha barber Stan Docekal—who charges him $18 (tip not included) for a hair trimming every two or three weeks. Docekal, who has cut Buffett's hair for about [23 years](http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D04E6DD143EF933A25757C0A9639C8B63), is also in his early 80s. Desperate to pick up tidbits about the Oracle of Omaha, journalists have interviewed the barber many times over the years. Apparently Buffett's activities during haircuts include [listening to oldies music](http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aCIbyEEIxFBQ), [watching CNBC](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/7-amazing-things-about-buffetts-woodstock-for-capitalists-2015-05-03), and reading his mail, a newspaper, or an annual report. Is $18 a good deal? Technically it's higher than the national average of about $14 for a men's cut, according to a [recent study](https://time.com/2976601/this-is-the-most-expensive-place-to-get-a-haircut-in-the-u-s/). But it's pretty darn cheap for the third richest person in the world. **Read more: [This Is How Much It Costs to Live Next Door to Warren Buffett](https://money.com/this-is-how-much-it-costs-to-live-next-to-warren-buffett/)** ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "This is How Much Warren Buffett Spends on Haircuts" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/", "name": "This is How Much Warren Buffett Spends on Haircuts", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2015-05-20T19:16:26.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-16T05:52:39.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "This is How Much Warren Buffett Spends on Haircuts", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2015/05/472140948.jpg", "width": 2600, "height": 1688, "caption": "Squawk Box - Season 20" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Susie Poppick", "url": "https://money.com/author/susie-poppick/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/susie-poppick/#author", "image": "https://img.money.com/2014/05/14-05-21_bio_author_poppick.jpg?quality=85&w=190&h=190&crop=1", "email": "susie_poppick@moneymail.com", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/susiepoppick" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2015-05-20T19:16:26.000Z", "description": "The Oracle of Omaha has been going to the same barber for more than 20 years.", "abstract": "The Oracle of Omaha has been going to the same barber for more than 20 years.", "@id": "https://money.com/warren-buffett-haircut-omaha/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-16T05:52:39.000Z", "wordCount": 176, "keywords": [ "Berkshire Hathaway", "Buffett", "cost", "hair", "haircut", "Omaha", "pubdesk", "spend", "spends", "stan Docekal", "Warren", "Warren Buffett" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Celebrity", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" ] } ] } ] } ```
