Legendary investor Charlie Munger has dies at the age of 99

One of the world’s most legendary investors has died at the age of 99. Charlie Munger was Warren Buffett’s right-hand man as vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.

Munger died yesterday at a California hospital, the US investment group announced.

In a statement, Buffett, 93, said: ‘Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie’s inspiration, wisdom and participation.’ Buffett once said: ‘We think so much alike that it’s spooky.’

As a teenager, Munger worked at Buffett & Son, a grocery store owned by Warren Buffett’s grandfather.

Munger, who would have turned 100 on January 1, was a lawyer, philanthropist and architect. 

He had an estimated fortune of some £2billion, although this was dwarfed by Buffett’s £80billion.
