This week Charlie Munger died.

He was a legendary investor and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, one of the most valuable companies in the world.

He was just a few weeks shy of his 100th birthday.

What did you think when you heard that Charlie Munger had died?

I said, really?

Because I thought, I actually sincerely thought he was going to live to, I don't know, 120 or something like that.

Forever, maybe? Yeah. Our colleague Jason's Wig covers investing. And he says not only did Munger live to 99, he also worked at an

intense pace until the very end. I mean he was Charlie Munger was probably busier than a lot of people in their 30s and 40s.

And when my colleague Nicole Friedman and I did a dinner interview with him in 2019,

we got there at about six o'clock and six hours later at midnight, he was still going. We were exhausted.

Munger was best known for his partnership with the billionaire investor Warren Buffett.

Together, Buffett and Munger became one of the most iconic duos in the world of business,

and their annual shareholder meetings became a must-see event.

Tens of thousands of people would come from all over the world.

To hear these two men just take questions from basically an open mic for hours on end.

But most of it wasn't about finance at all.

It was about how to think and how to live.

And that's what I think people really admired about Charlie Munger.
