How Do Billionaires Actually Spend Their Money?

How do billionaires actually spend their money? The strange truth is that most of the time, they don't — because almost none of their fortune is cash. It's stock. So when the ultra-rich DO open their wallets, where does it all go? Come behind the velvet rope for a tour up the pyramid of billionaire spending — from Warren Buffett's $31,500 house all the way to $6 billion sports teams, $500 million superyachts, $450 million paintings, private islands, rockets, and the quest to buy immortality itself. Every figure in this video is real and sourced. This is a documentary of luxury — not financial advice.
