91세 워렌버핏 평소 식단 따라서 먹기
다음은 포천지가 보도한 워런 버핏의 콜라 장수론 원문
The world’s most successful investor stays youthful by drinking at least five Cokes a day. Turns out, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO’s bizarre diet is highly strategic.
How does the world’s top investor, at 84 years old, wake up every day and face the world with boundless energy?
“I’m one quarter Coca-Cola,” Warren Buffett says.
When he told me this in a phone call yesterday (we were talking about the death of his friend, former Coca-Cola president Don Keough), I assumed he was talking about his stock portfolio.
No, Buffett explained, “If I eat 2700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday.”
Perhaps only a man who owns $16 billion in Coca-Cola stock—9% of Coke, through his company, Berkshire Hathaway-0.25% —would maintain such an odd daily diet. One 12-ounce can of Coke contains 140 calories. Typically, Buffett says, “I have three Cokes during the day and two at night.”
When he’s at his desk at Berkshire Hathaway headquarters in Omaha, he drinks regular Coke; at home, he treats himself to Cherry Coke.
“I’ll have one at breakfast,” he explains, noting that he loves to drink Coke with potato sticks. What brand of potato sticks? “I have a can right here,” he says. “U-T-Z” Utz is a Hanover, Pennsylvania-based snack maker. Buffett says that he’s talked to Utz management about potentially buying the company.
Investors in Berkshire Hathaway may feel relieved that the CEO isn’t addicted to Utz Potato Stix at every breakfast. “This morning, I had a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream,” Buffett says.
Asked to explain the high-sugar, high-salt diet that has somehow enabled him to remain seemingly healthy, Buffett replies: “I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old.” The octogenarian adds, “It’s the safest course I can take.”
‘포천’과의 인터뷰에서 “12온스짜리 콜라를 매일 5병씩 들이키고 있다”
하루 5잔 중 3잔은 해가 떠있는 낮에, 그리고 나머지 2잔은 밤에 마신다며 들이키는 시각도 구체적으로 공개했다. 사무실에서는 레귤러 코카콜라(regular Coke)를, 집에서는 체리 코카콜라(Cherry Coke)를 즐긴다는 것.
이건 마치 니가 20년 동안 꾸준히 엘리트 교육 받으면서 마라톤 연습을 해도 동네에서 밭갈고 있던 키메토 못이기는거랑 똑같은거임. 압도적 재능은 그 누구도 못이김
