Warren Buffett isn't your typical billionaire.
The so-called Sage of Omaha, who turns 87 on Wednesday August 30, has a net worth of more than $75 billion, but lives a modest lifestyle.
Buffett still lives in the house he bought in 1957 for $31,000, forgoes private jets for public transportation, and plays bridge instead of throwing parties.
And it is that juxtaposition of vast wealth and a desire to live simply that has captured the awe of people around the world.
His lifestyle was recently showcased in the HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett."
Following are interesting things we've gleaned from the billionaire's eventful, 87-year-long life.
