Few perks in fast food are as elusive and sought-after as the McDonald's Gold Card, which grants its holder free meals. However, the benefits of these cards can vary. While some are limited to local venues, others, like the one Bill Gates has, allow him to eat for free at any McDonald’s globally. Warren Buffett, another notable recipient of this privilege, discussed his own McDonald’s Gold Card during a CNBC interview, revealing the more localized nature of his card. During an interview with Becky Quick, Buffett showed what was in his wallet. “And, ah, here we have my McDonald’s card which lets me eat free at any McDonald’s in Omaha for the rest of my life. So that’s why the Buffett family has Christmas dinner at McDonald’s. It explains a lot of things,” Buffett chuckled. He added that while his card is restricted to Omaha, Gates’ card is good worldwide. “There’s just a few of them. Bill Gates has one. His is good throughout the world, I guess. Mine is only good in Omaha, but I never leave Omaha so mine is just as good as his,” he explained.
