Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s Partner and ‘Abominable No-Man,’ Dies at 99
(Excerpt from WSJ)
No equal business partner has ever played second fiddle better than Charlie Munger.
Warren Buffett’s closest friend and consigliere for six decades, the billionaire vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway died Tuesday at age 99 in a California hospital. A news release from Berkshire confirmed his death.
In public, especially in front of the tens of thousands of attendees at Berkshire’s annual meetings, Munger deferred to Buffett, letting the company’s chairman hog the microphone and the limelight. Munger routinely cracked up the crowd by croaking, “I have nothing to add.”
