Why It Matters: Munger’s passing in November 2023 marked the end of an era. The billionaire businessman and attorney best-known as Warren Buffett's right-hand man at Berkshire died at the age of 99.

Munger’s pragmatic wisdom, sharp intellect, and unconventional approach to decision-making earned him a reputation as a sage in investment circles.

The finance sage had worked alongside Buffett since 1959 after the two were introduced at a dinner. His partnership with Buffett transformed a small textile business into a staggering $930.24 billion empire.

Munger was married twice. His first marriage, to Nancy Jean Huggins in 1945, produced three children before ending in divorce in 1953.

In 1956, he married Nancy Berry Borthwick, with whom he had four children and two stepchildren. Their marriage lasted until Borthwick’s passing in 2010.
