Inside the daily routine of 87-year-old Warren Buffett, who loves McDonald's, spends 80% of his workday reading, and unwinds by playing the ukulele

When it comes time to grab some shut eye, Buffett likes to be in bed by 10:45 p.m. "I get quite a bit of sleep. I like to sleep," he told PBS. "So I will usually sleep eight hours a night."

He also likes to play the ukulele, a skill he picked up in order to woo his first wife. He once even strummed out a duet with Bon Jovi, for charity.

Like Gates, Buffett enjoys unwinding after work over a good game of bridge. He gets absorbed in the game: "You know, if I'm playing bridge and a naked woman walks by, I don't ever see her," he told CBS.

When it comes time for lunch, Buffett has been known to take people out for a treat at McDonald's. CNBC reported that he once bought his friend Bill Gates a meal at the fast food giant using coupons.

During the day, he stays abreast of the headlines by reading The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Omaha World-Herald, and American Banker, according to CNBC.

The billionaire acknowledged to Fast Company that he doesn't need to keep working. However, he sticks with Berkshire Hathaway because he loves it.

Once he's in the office, he hits the books. CNBC reported that Buffett estimates he spends 80% of his day reading. He recommends that people try to read at least 500 pages a day.

According to CNBC, sometimes the Berkshire Hathaway chairman doesn't roll into work until after the market opens.

Entrepreneur reported that the billionaire still finds time to exercise, in part to counteract his diet.

The chairman also has a soft spot for strawberry milkshakes. "I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds," Buffett told Fortune. "So I decided to eat like a six-year-old. It's the safest course I can take."

He once told Fortune: "I'm one quarter Coca-Cola."

He then washes down the fast food with some Coke. Buffett usually drinks about five cans of Coke a day. Berkshire Hathaway also owns stock in Coca-Cola.

He goes for the more expensive options when he's feeling "prosperous," according to Business Insider.

At McDonald's, $2.61 buys him two sausage patties, $2.95 snags him a sausage McMuffin with egg and cheese, and a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit costs $3.17.

Buffett's breakfast depends on the stock market. Before he heads to McDonald's Business Insider reported that every morning, his wife Astrid places either $2.61, $2.95, or $3.17 in his car's cupholder.

Buffett starts his morning by reading The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Forbes, according to CNBC.

Buffett wakes up every day at 6:45 a.m. "I have no desire to get to work at four in the morning," he told PBS.
