The legendary investor recently opened up about his personal life in ways that caught many by surprise. From his thoughts on raising kids to his unexpected passion for horse racing, Buffett didn't hold back. But perhaps most intriguing was his candid explanation for stepping back from public political commentary. It's a rare glimpse into how one of finance's biggest names thinks beyond balance sheets and market movements.

Wow, has Buffett really started speaking his mind? How am I still in the paper hand stage? He's probably already seen through life...

Buffett actually still plays horse racing. This guy is way more down-to-earth than I imagined, haha.

Buffett talks about politics... Basically, he's just afraid of causing trouble, smart people all understand. --- Horse farm investment? That's true diversification, much more stable than buying shitcoins. --- Putting money aside to talk about life, in the end, it's still about strategy... This old man is truly exceptional. --- Family office management, horse farm investment, avoiding political whirlpools... He's demonstrating how to gracefully retire from the game. --- Horse racing? It's not as exciting as going all-in during altseason.

Buffett talks about family and horse racing, this guy really doesn't pretend... But the highlight is his withdrawal from political commentary. What does that indicate? Does having more money make him more indifferent?

NGL, Buffett talking about politics is quite interesting. It seems even the big shots are tired...

ngl, stepping back from political commentary is technically the smartest move—less surface area for attack vectors, fewer unforced errors. but horse racing though? that's an interesting edge case for someone who usually audits every decision like it's production code
