93-year-old Warren Buffett has 5 cans of coke every day!

Billionaire Warren Buffett's life is an inspiration when it comes to achievements. But his diet is no less than an example of how to live fully. As per a report, published few years before, Buffett drinks 5 cans of coke every day and has chicken nuggets at least thrice a week. He also loves having dairy ice cream for dessert.

He treats himself with three cokes during the day and two at night.

"I'm one quarter Coca-Cola," he had told Fortune in 2015, and had explained that coke accounts for 25% of his daily calorie intake. With this, he proves his loyalty to the beverage as his company holds 9 percent of Coca-Cola's shares.

Apart from coke, he loves having salt-laden foods like potato sticks.

"If somebody told me I would live an extra year if I ate nothing but broccoli and a few other things all my life instead of eating what I like to eat, I would say take the year off the end of my life and ... let me eat what I like to eat," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box" in April.

"I always tell people: I found everything I like to eat by the time I was six. I think happiness makes an enormous amount of difference ... in terms of longevity. I'm happier when I'm eating hot fudge sundaes or drinking Coke," he told the media.

Other CEOs, investors who have an unconventional diet

Buffett is not the one who has an unconventional diet. Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin group, has 20 cups of tea every day. Jeff Bezos' breakfast comprises octopus with potatoes, bacon, green garlic yogurt, and a poached egg, according to a report from D Magazine. Investor Mark Cuban's breakfast comprises cookies. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has three to four cans of diet coke in a day. A huge fan of cheeseburger, Gates' breakfast choice is cocoa puff. Elon Musk has a donut as a breakfast every morning, he had revealed on Twitter.
