I don't have to believe it because this has been all over the media
(in the US) for the past 15 or 20 years. He is much more of an anomaly
in the materialistic US society than one would believe, sitting in
India. Lots of people have gone over to his office and seen that he
has no computers. His deals are done on pads of paper - and (at most)
a calculator with a print out.

Often called the "Oracle of Omaha," Buffett is noted for his adherence
to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality
despite his immense wealth. His 2006 annual salary was about $100,000,
which is on the low side of senior executive remuneration in other
comparable companies,[8] and when he spent $9.7 million of Berkshire's
funds on a business jet in 1989, he jokingly named it "The
Indefensible" because of his past criticisms of such purchases by
other CEOs. He lives in the same house in the central Dundee
neighborhood of Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500, today valued
at around $700,000.

And all of this is well documented.
