"Shonda Rhimes and Warren Buffett might seem worlds apart, but they have more in common than you might think, as an episode of " Call Her Daddy" revealed this week. Rhimes, the 55-year-old screenwriter and producer behind hit shows including "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal," is a master of TV. Buffett, the 95-year-old billionaire CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a $1 trillion conglomerate, is a master of investing. On the podcast, Rhimes talked about money, risk, and strategy. She and Buffett have similar approaches."
"Buffett is also careful in his spending. The CEO, who has a net worth of around $150 billion, grabs McDonald's for breakfast during his morning commute, and once used coupons to help pay for lunch there with Bill Gates. He still lives in the home he bought for $31,500 in 1958, and once had a "THRIFTY" vanity license plate - not a very common way of advertising your frugality."
"Some of his most famous quotes, oft cited by his followers, reflect financial prudence. They include, "Do not save what is left after spending; instead, spend what is left after saving." There's also, "If you buy things you don't need, you will soon sell things you need.""

Both prioritize careful spending, deliberate risk assessment, and long-term strategic thinking. Rhimes emphasizes not getting too comfortable and clipping coupons. Buffett emphasizes saving before spending and avoiding purchases that are not needed. Both apply patience and prudence to decisions.
