Ice cream for breakfast and Coke all day: the extreme eating habits of billionaires
分享到
A cup of tea solves everything, so they say, especially for Richard Branson. The Virgin Group boss, who is worth over $5 billion, recently admitted that he chain-drinks around 20 brews a day – even if he's abroad.
人們常說(shuō)有茶萬(wàn)事足,對(duì)身價(jià)50億美元的英國(guó)維珍集團(tuán)老板理查德·布蘭森來(lái)說(shuō)尤為如此。近日,他表示自己每天會(huì)連續(xù)喝20杯左右的茶,即使身在國(guó)外也不例外。
"I'm not sure how I'd survive without English Breakfast tea," the 65-year-old told the Daily Mail. "Even in the Caribbean I must drink 20 cups a day [...] a cup of tea will never be far away."
65歲的布蘭森告訴英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》的記者:“我不知道沒(méi)有英式早茶的日子該如何度過(guò),即使是在加勒比海地區(qū),我每天也一定要來(lái)上20杯茶,茶永遠(yuǎn)都伴隨著我。”
It's a wonder Branson has much time for business, in between trips to the kettle and bathroom, but he isn't the first hugely successful entrepreneur to have an unusual fuel source ...
奇怪的是,即使每天工作的時(shí)間很長(zhǎng),且頻繁穿梭于水壺和廁所間,布蘭森卻不是第一個(gè)有特殊飲食喜好的成功企業(yè)家。
Warren Buffett: Ice cream (for breakfast)
沃倫·巴菲特:冰淇淋早餐
The American businessman and philanthropist, 85, who is reputedly worth $66.9 billion, has the diet of a small child. Deliberately.
85歲的美國(guó)商人和慈善家,坐擁669億美元身家,卻刻意保持著孩子般的飲食習(xí)慣。
"I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old. It's the safest course I can take," the famously canny investor says.
這位以精明著稱的投資家說(shuō):“我查過(guò)死亡率統(tǒng)計(jì)表,表上顯示,六歲兒童的死亡率最低,所以我決定像6歲孩子那樣吃東西。這是最保險(xiǎn)的做法。”
Buffett's daily buffet includes chocolate chip ice cream at breakfast, five Coca-Colas (regular at work, cherry at home) and endless shoestring potato crisps. Despite that, he continues to work into his 80s and shows no signs of lacking energy.
巴菲特每天的自助食物包括早餐的巧克力冰淇淋、5瓶可口可樂(lè)(工作時(shí)喝普通的,在家喝櫻桃口味的)以及大量的薯?xiàng)l。盡管如此,80多歲的他仍能精力充沛地對(duì)待工作。
"If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday," Buffet says.
巴菲特說(shuō)道:“如果一天攝入2700卡路里,那么有四分之一來(lái)自可樂(lè)。因?yàn)槲颐刻熘辽俸?罐12盎司的可樂(lè),從不間斷。”
