Charlie T Munger was born on January 1, 1924, in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. During his early years Munger showed himself as a talented student and attended the University of Michigan during the difficult war years. There he studied mathematics and later used his knowledge and experience to serve in US Army Air Corps as a great meteorologist, as he had to study atmosphere. It didn’t increase Munger’s net worth much, but at that time he didin’t think about associating his life with business. Furthermore, later he also attended Harvard Law School. His great talent was noticed and Charles worked as a real estate attorney at Munger, Tolles and Olson LLP until 1965. However, nowadays Munger is best known as the closest partner of Warren Edward Buffett – American investor, philanthropist and magnate, the largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, and one of the three richest men in the world. That’s how Munger has increased his net worth over the years

In 2007 a book written by Peter Bevelin appeared – it was called “Seeking Wisdom: From Darwin to Munger”.

In total 4 books where written about this person,where he is usually associated with his partner Warren Buffett. Moreover, Charlie Munger was also the person who inspired Rolf Dobelli – an author who later wrote “The Art of Thinking Clearly”.
Charlie Munger’s estimated net worth has allowed him to make considerable donations to charities. For example, he donated $3 million to the University of Michigan Law School. Later he made even more donations to this university where he studied himself, and that’s why his name is really significant for the university.
