Buffet surely made lots of upgrades and has added plenty of material comforts.

But it is quite possible to be a kind of lazy where even 10-20x current wealth, people would live where they currently live. American neighborhoods are reasonable that way. It is just primary home and they would holiday/vacation wherever.

That is so few people.

So, so, few people.

Rough lookup says less than 150,000 people in the US, or 0.044% of the US population.
