Watch Legendary Investor Charlie Munger's Final Interview With CNBC

[darrenprior]

One hour and 42mins and not a single ‘ummm’ or ‘ahhhh’. Just silence as he thinks. What an incredible man. I shed a tear when I heard of his departure. He will never be forgotten.

[ppumpkin]

I like how Becky lets him talk. So many other interviewers need to prove themselves or have a point to make.

[MosesKim-jerj]

Munger makes you realize why any great civilization always needs wise elders playing a prominent role.

[ruthlessluder]

How fortunate he was to be able to go on an interview 2 weeks before he died. His mind and body was sharp until the last minute.

[alm]

Thank you, Becky and CNBC for a historic interview (it's full of truth, humility and wisdom about every aspect of life). Rest in peace, Mr. Munger, and thank you for this final gift.

[LailaTravels]

He was truly a legend!
I was so impressed by his life story, could not help but film it to share with people on my channel

[jasondima]

RIP to a legend that taught us all about investing. He will never be forgotten. Thank you for giving us hope in this world. Prayers goes out to his family

[trepan]

RIP and Thank you to the investing and comedy legend, Charlie Munger. And my prayers go out to Becky. She clearly misses him and knew him so well.

[iqstudios]

Perhaps the best interview I've seen Becky do. Authentic, educational, and moving.

[neilvarghese]

One of the greatest interviews in world history if you truly understand what he says. He who has ears let him hear

[milpitians]

I am so glad this last interview was done before Charlie passed away. It would have been nice to see him make it to his 100th birthday, but at least we have this parting note from him. I will miss his insightful wisdom and no nonsense responses. Charlie Munger will be greatly missed.

[Xtefanno]

This video is already a classic. This is the kind of video that you revisit every now and then and it will never become old.
RIP to a real legend. Society already misses you

[wisacq]

The zest in his eyes for conversations and storytelling is so exciting to watch for a 100 year old man.

[GeneralFactCheck]

Charlie Munger would be one of the most famous people in history if the general population knew how to assess intelligence. But as Charlie would've said, that's "outside of their circle of competence".

[RussellJarrett]

It goes without saying that Charlie Munger must have been a special man indeed and somewhat of a hero to many of us. As it turns out, this was a very timely interview, patiently and respectfully conducted by a lady who clearly knew Mr. Munger well. The result is superb. Well done Becky Quick / CNBC / the late Charlie Munger

[hussambachour]

Thank you Becky and everyone contributed to making this interview, the last dose of wisdom ❤️

[RAM-pyzp]

Thanks for the interview, Becky. This one is for the ages. RIP Legend

[fhowland]

[dzenoAnic]
