Charlie Munger, the longtime friend and business partner of Warren Buffett, died on Tuesday. He was 99.

He preferred to stay in the background and let Buffett be the face of Berkshire, often downplaying his contributions to the company's remarkable success, the Associated Press said.

At the age of 31, Charlie Munger lost his Son to Leukemia & got divorced from his first wife+Nearly went bankrupt as his wife got nearly everything. Yet, he kept moving on in life. Never be a victim but a survivor.
