Charlie Munger’s Death explored

On November 28, 2023, Charlie Munger died at a hospital in Santa Barbara, California, at the age of 99. In a statement following his death, Warren Buffett said, “Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie’s inspiration, wisdom, and participation.”

Before his death, Charlie Munger had already suffered some serious health issues throughout the years. Back when he was in his 50s, a failed eye cataract surgery had rendered his left eye blind and after several attempts, Charlie Munger had his left eye removed due to severe pains he had been going through after the failed surgery.

At that time when doctors told him that he had developed a serious condition that may cause his remaining eye to fill up with blood and become blind too, Munger started taking braille lessons. The eye condition eventually receded and he kept eyesight in his right eye for the rest of his life.
