Looking back at the life and legacy of investing legend Charlie Munger

CNBC's Becky Quick looks back at the life and legacy of long-time Warren Buffett business partner and investing legend Charlie Munger following news of his death at 99.

He was a great example on how to live a life. He accumulated wealth but found time and selflessness to have a large family.
Congratulations, Mr. Munger. You lived it well. May you rest in peace.

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

The world has lost a sage man and would be different without him. 😢😢 Rest In Peace Mr. Charlie Munger

I was telling someone the other day that Charlie Munger was going to turn 100 on January 1st. This feels a bit like losing the Betty White of the investment world.
R.I.P. Mr. Munger

I can't believe he's gone 😢.
Thanks Charlie for everything you have done for us. RIP

Every time he spoke, it was a master class in investing and life. RIP Mr. Munger

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[gregorylyon]

This man was the real success behind Warren Buffett

Charlie's smiling at this beautiful video from a better world.

Rest in peace, Charlie, you've done so much for people all over the world, your wisdom lives on!

[margaretapersson]

Work only for a company you admire with people you enjoy working with and learn from. Wish I had known and listened to Charlie a long long time ago. Thank you for all your wisdom and advice.

We need a Netflix series of the Legend. Would so love to learn more on the fund and this amazing man

[vrbhoopa]

It's a big loss to our investor community as it loses one of the most rational thinkers of our time. May his soul rest in peace

[sourdurian]

It's not often you find a legend, and he was one of the rare few. He changed my perspective on investments, and I'm sure he was an inspiration to many. Rest easy now Mr. Munger.

*Rest in peace, Charlie. You were a gift to humanity. Your wisdom, intellect, and perspective will be missed dearly. I can only imagine what Warren must be going through. You guys were together for over half-a-century. The world will miss you, Charlie. Lots of love and respect!*
