Warren Buffett drinks Coke for breakfast

REUTERS/Andrea Comas Warren Buffett in Madrid in 2008. World-famous investor Warren Buffett drinks Coke for breakfast.

His morning meal might also include Utz potato sticks or a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream.

The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which owns $16 billion (£10.3 billion) in Coca-Cola stock, is often photographed with his favourite beverage, but we didn't quite know the extent of his soda addiction.

The 84-year-old discussed his diet quirks in an interview with Fortune's Patricia Sellers.

"If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola," he said. "I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it every day."

Buffett, worth $72.8 billion, said he would drink three Cokes during the day and cap off the night with two more cans. Sometimes he drinks regular. Sometimes he drinks cherry flavor.

"I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among 6-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a 6-year-old," Buffett said of his high-sugar diet.

One 12-ounce can of regular Coke contains 140 calories and 39 grams of sugar. It is far from an ideal breakfast, but hey, whatever works.
