I guess I had known that Warren Buffett still lives in the same home that he moved into in 1958. I believe I had heard that he paid $31,500 which, when you stop and think about it, was a fair penny in its time (my first home, in 1965, cost me $13,500). I did not know it was ungated.
And I did not know that that it is 5,830 square feet, which is about the square footage of all the homes I ever owned, cumulative (link). Apparently you get a lot of house for $31,500 in Omaha, if your timing is right.
Reading note: I'd still say that Roger Lowenstein's bio of Buffett is about the best single business book I've ever read (link).
