Warren Buffett the Worlds 3rd richest man with $47 billion dollars still lives in the same house in the same Happy Hollow neighborhood where he bought the home in 1958 for $31,500.

Home since 1958



Instead of owning a portfolio of homes, the “Oracle of Omaha” lives in just one. He paid $31,500 for his house in 1958, or about $250,000 in today’s dollars.



The house sits on a corner property in central Omaha, and the original 1921 stucco structure appears to have some additions. At 6,570 square feet, it’s no bungalow, but it’s also a few thousand square feet short of being a mansion, which is usually about 10,000 square feet.



What's it worth?



The home’s value today, estimated on Realtor.com, is $652,619, whereas the Zillow “Zestimate” is $591,000. A neighboring five-bedroom, six-bath, 3,848 square-foot house is on the market for $450,000 .



Trulia notes the average list price for Omaha homes comparable to Buffett’s house is $280,162, and the average sale amount for similar recently sold homes is $236,462.



It’s not even the home with the highest estimated value on the block. The house next door is slightly smaller and has a Zestimate of $794,500, and $826,870 on Realtor.com.
