His First Career? Paperboy.

He was a paperboy for The Washington Post… and the Times-Herald, apparently. He began selling both papers so that when customers canceled their subscriptions to one, he had the other ready for them to buy.

His Favorite Restaurant

We all knew he was frugal -- and Buffett's favorite restaurant, Piccolo Pete's in Omaha, proves as much. There you can buy a New York Strip Steak there for $9.95.

Disowned His Granddaughter?

He disowned his granddaughter, Nicole Buffett, in 2006, after she participated in a documentary about children of the ultra-wealthy. Warren's son, Peter, formally adopted Nicole when he married her mother -- but the two divorced 10 years later. Buffett was reportedly so enraged by Nicole's participation in the documentary that he wrote to her in a letter, "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin."
