How many hours does Warren Buffett work a day?
What it's like working for Warren Buffett: 'It's literally just reading about 12 hours a day' Todd Combs and Ted Weschler now manage $10 billion for Berkshire Hathaway after starting with $2 billion, according to Warren Buffett. Combs shares how his daily work schedule is “l*terally just reading about 12 hours a day.”
Afternoons. After breakfast, Warren gets down to business. The man explains that most days, he just sits in his office and reads all day. The Oracle states that most of the materials he reads relate to company financials, market materials, financial journals, and investor reports.
American business magnate Warren Buffett values his sleep and retires to bed at around 10 pm, reading for half an hour or so, then going to sleep by 10.45 pm each night. He is an early riser and his day starts at 6.45 am after at least eight hours of sleep. When Buffett wakes up, he doesn't reach for the coffee pot.
Buffett reportedly arrives at work around 9:30 a.m. when the markets open. I usually get in earlier than that, so I had a lot of time to kill.

Musk claims he regularly works 80 to 100 hour workweeks, with most of his skillset being focused on design and engineering work. Approximately 90% of his time at SpaceX involves design work, and it takes up 60% of his day at Tesla.
Bill Gates (Microsoft co-founder) spends an hour on the treadmill, watching courses from the Teaching Company. Barack Obama (US president) keeps a strict morning workout routine of weights and cardio at 6.45am, before eating breakfast with his family and helping to pack his daughters off to school.
Warren Buffett turned 87 last week.
Working off this figure, Buffett may have been earning $1,500,000 per hour – roughly $25,000 per minute or $416 per second.
But this man of character practices the smart money wisdom he preaches. Instead of opting for something flashy, he gets behind the wheel of his tried-and-true 2014 Cadillac XTS. If you met Warren Buffett, you'd never guess that he's one of the richest men in the world.
What IQ is Elon Musk?
When it comes to IQ, few people can compare to entrepreneur and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk. With a reported IQ of 155, Musk is widely considered one of the smartest individuals in the world. Yet despite his intelligence, Musk isn't content to sit back and let others do the work.
Elon Musk says he is "fairly nocturnal" and only sleeps about 6 hours a day. He told The Full Send podcast he usually goes to bed about 3 a.m. and gets up around 9 a.m. The Tesla CEO says he has a "bad habit" of immediately checking his phone after waking up.
Turns out that's completely optional to a baller lifestyle. Tesla's Elon Musk used to be an herbivore, before relatedly switching his eating habits. But some execs are hooked on making their green while eating it too.
Bill Gates reads for one hour before bed to improve his sleep, usually turning in around midnight for around seven hours. Warren Buffet is a notoriously big reader and, next to reading, what he does the most is sleep -- preferably 8 hours per day or more.

The late, great Steve Jobs had an incredibly profound yet simple morning routine. Each day he would get up, make his bed, shower, and then look himself in the mirror. He'd lock eyes with himself and ask, "If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I'm about to do today?"
Warren Buffett turned 87 last week.
Like many other tech titans, such as Elon Musk and Tim Cook, Bezos is an early riser. He's usually awake around 6:30 am. According to Bezos, "I go to bed early, I get up early". After rising, he is known to enjoy "putter" around the house in the morning.
But this man of character practices the smart money wisdom he preaches. Instead of opting for something flashy, he gets behind the wheel of his tried-and-true 2014 Cadillac XTS. If you met Warren Buffett, you'd never guess that he's one of the richest men in the world.
Supposedly, in the early days of Buffett's investment career, he would read 600-1000 pages in a single day. Nowadays, he still dedicates 80% of his day to reading.
What is Warren Buffett's favorite food?
The Oracle of Omaha's eating habits have been the subject of many internet articles, and for good reason. The 91-year-old Berkshire Hathaway CEO and chairman famously loves junk food, preferring hamburgers, hot dogs, Cherry co*ke and McDonald's to any high-end cuisine.
A few years back, speaking about what he does first thing in the morning, Zuckerberg had told Jerry Seinfeld in a Facebook Live Q&A that he starts his day at 8 am and immediately checks Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp on his mobile phone.
Wakes early and gets adequate sleep
In a Reddit AMA, Musk confirmed he woke around 7:00am each day. This seems a reasonable hour compared to Apple CEO Tim Cook's daily alarm at 3:45am, although Cook is said to hit the hay as early as 8:45pm while Musk doesn't turn in until around 1:00am.
Having a set morning routine can help jump-start your day — it even works for billionaires. Both Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett prioritize sleep and aim to get eight hours per night.
Buffett has been a long-term user of a $20 (₹1,438 approximately) Samsung SCH-U320 flip phone. Now, he is a proud owner of an iPhone 11. The billionaire investor admitted that he uses his new iPhone "as a phone".
Tesla Model X
When Musk drives with his kids (he has 6 of them now) the man says he uses his Model X SUV with the dramatic gullwing doors. We're assuming he has the third row option in there, otherwise not everyone would fit.
