Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger Dies At 99: Here's How The World Is Reacting

Charlie Munger, the longtime collaborator and partner to Warren Buffett for nearly six decades in the transformative journey of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., died at the age of 99.

Here's How The World Reacting:

"Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom and participation," Chief Executive Officer Buffett said.

"Charlie Munger's influence will be felt in generations to come," veteran investor Ramesh Damani told BQ Prime's Niraj Shah. "Charlie Munger taught the importance of investing, I tend to use it in my investing."

Compounding is a lesson to learn from investors like Munger and Buffett, according to Damani.

"I mean to just imagine him not sitting next to Warren and pointing commentary, I think it'll take almost a generation for investors to forget the presence of Munger which unfortunately we'll have to get used to," Damani said.

"A titan of business and keen observer of the world around him, Charlie Munger helped build an American institution, and through his wisdom and insights, inspired a generation of leaders," Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple Inc., posted on X.

"I had written this about Mr. Charlie Munger in last year's business update. His ideas have had a tremendous influence on me professionally. You’ll be missed, Mr. Munger," Nithin Kamath, founder and chief executive officer of Zerodha said on X.

"I have been reading and listening to quite a bit of Charlie Munger over the last few days. Every time I go down this rabbit hole, I tend to discover more about myself and what I think Zerodha should be."

"If I had to summarise, I could use some of his quotes (link to full post in comments) One of the greatest ways to avoid trouble is to keep it simple… the system often goes out of control. I would argue that passion is more important than brainpower."
