Sweet. Notice he's drinking a Coke in which he has a large stake.

That's a rather meager/naked/spartan looking burger.

Could have been a gift from a business partner or from a family member. Or, even inheritance, who knows...

I've seen him wear a DD on TV and in multiple photos. He's had it for several years.

Given his reputation of being frugal, I was surprised too the first time I saw it on him.

Can't think Cherry Coke was one of the great success stories, may be it was his idea...

I think I read he owns a chain of jewelry stores which is a rolex ad.

Thought he drives a $50k Cadillac and lives in an $800k house...

Yet... Rolex DD, bespoke Brioni suits, private jets... Why the contradiction??

He wears Zegna suts and a Rolex. He realizes that the image of a wealthy businessman counts. I have been a long time shareholder in Berkshire Hathaway and attended his annual meetings. He does not throw money away, but is not afraid to have a good time.

Snowball is an excellent biography of Warren.
