On Tuesday, November 28th local time, Berkshire Hathaway released a statement on its subsidiary, the US Business Information website, stating that the family of Vice Chairman Charlie Munger had informed the company a few minutes ago that Munger had passed away peacefully in a hospital in California that morning at the age of 99. It's only over a month since his 100th birthday.
Warren Buffett stated in a statement, "Without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom, and involvement, Berkshire Hathaway could not have achieved its current status."
