Charlie Munger,Omaha,Nebraska

Tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to Omaha, Nebraska, to soak up wisdom from investing wizard Warren Buffett. Saturday's annual shareholder's meeting for Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate is famous for featuring the so-called Oracle of Omaha.

Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Greg Abel checks out the flight simulators offered by one of Berkshires companies, Flight Safety as he toured the exhibit hall Friday, May 3, 2024, in Omaha , Neb. ahead of Saturday’s meeting. Abel is set to succeed Warren Buffett as CEO one day.

Abel will succeed Warren Buffett as CEO one day.

He and Buffett functioned as a classic comedy duo, with Buffett offering lengthy setups to Munger’s witty one-liners. Together, they transformed Berkshire from a floundering textile mill into a massive conglomerate made up of a variety of interests, from insurance companies such as Geico to BNSF railroad to several major utilities and an assortment of other companies.

“Warren always did at least 80% of the talking. But Charlie was a great foil,” said Stansberry Research analyst Whitney Tilson, who was looking forward to his 27th consecutive meeting with a bit of a heavy heart because of Munger’s absence.
