Episode Details

“I’m an accidental guru.” This is the second episode of a series remembering and celebrating billionaire investor Charlie Munger. At age 99, the right-hand man to Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett sat down with Becky Quick in what became their last interview together - after years of Becky covering the company and facilitating shareholder questions at the raucous Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meetings. Munger passed away two weeks after this interview was recorded, just a month shy of his 100th birthday. In this extended audio version of that final CNBC interview, Charlie Munger reflects on his century of life, the childhood traumas that shaped him, the investing wins and losses that made his career, and the perspective and knowledge he gained in his final years.
