Legendary investor Charlie Munger dies at 99

Charlie Munger, the investing genius who became Warren Buffett’s right-hand man at Berkshire Hathaway, has died weeks before his 100th birthday.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Munger made his own fortune running a hedge fund before joining Berkshire Hathaway. There, he played the straight man to the jovial Buffett. The two would go on to work together for more than 60 years.

“Charlie has given me the ultimate gift that a person can give to somebody else. He’s made me a better person than I would have otherwise been,” Buffett once said. “I’ve lived a better life because of Charlie.”

Outside of investing, Munger gave hundreds of millions of dollars to educational institutions, often on the condition that they accept his building designs even though he wasn’t formally trained as an architect.
