Saban has “builders grade” cabinets and Formica in his home office

Nah, lot of people just don't want to remodel styles and materials from the past.

I mean it works...

Wins don’t care.

That’s his flop pad ! Look up his lake burton house and you’ll see where his checks go !

Maybe it’s kind of a motivation thing with him. Keep it simple and keep it blue collar-ish to remind him to never rest on his laurels.

all the good materials were reserved for his trophy case.

What kind of “wood” do Aggies prefer?

That’s right...flesh colored.

It is a palace but he built a spec house up there that looked very weird and it had to be auctioned off eventually. Had to lose a lot of money

Sam Walton had an old door as a desk, and drove an old beat up pickup. The 'trappings' of success aren't for everyone.

Warren Buffett never spends more than $3.17 on breakfast. On his five-minute drive to the office, which he's been making for the past five decades, Buffett stops by McDonald's and orders one of three items: two sausage patties, a sausage McMuffin or a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. In 2014, he reportedly bought a Cadillac XTS, a car with a retail price of around $45,000. It was an upgrade from his previous car: a 2006 Cadillac DTS, which he decided to get rid of when his his daughter Susie told him it was embarrassing. People care about different things.

He didn't build the house, nor does he own it. The Crimson Tide Foundation purchased it and provides it as part of his compensation package.

It has always been assumed that when he retires, he will go to the house at Lake Burton, or buy in Birmingham where his mother, daughter, and grandchild now live.
