I think Warren Buffet just carries the Green Card. He's not the Centurion type of Billionaire.

Yeah, he also drives a 12 year old pick-up truck.  He understand that the way you become rich is generally by not spending money (beyond what you need to make money, of course).

I agree with this, but I reckon there's also a point where it doesn't matter as much. Of course, some people don't like large houses and executive cards, and that's OK. I'm not one to be flashy, but if I ever become a billionaire, I certainly wouldn't drive around in a decade old truck. I would probably spend just to spend since you can't blow through all of it in a lifetime. If you look at old money families, you'll see more of not spending a lot of buying understated luxurious things.

That card is a Stratus Rewards Visa Signature Card issued by US Bank. I a strep above the "Black Card" IMHO.
