About Charlie Munger

Munger was Berkshire Hathaway’s vice chairman and Warren Buffett’s long-standing investment partner. Berkshire announced his death on November 28, 2023. In the company’s 2023 shareholder letter, Buffett recalled meeting him in 1959 and described his decision to enter money management in 1962. Buffett credited Munger with urging Berkshire to acquire stronger businesses at reasonable prices instead of concentrating on ordinary businesses merely because they were cheap. The tribute casts him as a central architect of Berkshire’s development. This historical profile explains that influence and partnership without implying an ongoing executive role.
