Watch Legendary Investor Charlie Munger's Final Interview With CNBC
I like how Becky lets him talk. So many other interviewers need to prove themselves or have a point to make.
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024
It's frustrating when market inefficiencies persist, particularly with undervalued stocks. Consider consulting an advisor for smarter investing decisions.
My financial advisor has been a game-changer, providing clarity and boosting my confidence in navigating finance. With their help, I've achieved my goals faster than I imagined. Highly recommend!
Your advisor appears skilled. How can I contact them? I've recently sold property and aim to invest in stocks, seeking guidance.
“Angela Lynn Shilling’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
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.
my heart still sinks realizing he is gone...
I feel u.

Munger makes you realize why any great civilization always needs wise elders playing a prominent role.
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.
1 month before his 100th birthday
sharp? hes slow
@@patrickstefanek3842 you must be no older than 15. Let's see how sharp your brain will be at 80 cause you wont reach 99. I ll definitely not reach 99 either
@@patrickstefanek3842 the interviewer is slower.
@@patrickstefanek3842Your comment makes you look like an idiot. I'm sorry but that's the truth
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
Awesome....He is a shining example of hardwork and a voracious reader. versatile person.
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.
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
@@theinvisibleman2070 Yes, and I hate to hear him use the word "GD" at age 99.5. I just winced. Did the use of that word or phrase contribute one iota to the interview - and where I come from, it's a rude word to use in the presence of a lady?
I@@brendanjobe6895I mean he was right, Freud was a lunatic and emphasis was necessary.
He also designed a dormitory building for college students that had no windows so he wasn't great at architecture...we know that
Perhaps the best interview I've seen Becky do. Authentic, educational, and moving.
I think she seems spaced out.

THANK YOU
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.
I hope Becky writes a book someday about her relationships with Munger and Buffett, she interviewed them so many times over so many years. A unique experience in knowing these amazing men. RIP Charlie, I’m so thankful for your influence.
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.
We're blessed that we have these recordings to listen to, and contribute to his legacy. He had a mind and wit that is rarely matched. "EBITDA is bulshit earnings" What a legend :)
Me too. It would have been difficult to do the interview after he passed away. 😂
The zest in his eyes for conversations and storytelling is so exciting to watch for a 100 year old man.
One of the greatest interviews in world history if you truly understand what he says. He who has ears let him hear
Charlie is the only person that can cut me off mid sentence. Because what he says is extraordinary and must be listened to
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
Watching Becky look at Charlie with such admiration touched my heart. Every time they talked over the years was a gift.
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
Thank you Becky and everyone contributed to making this interview, the last dose of wisdom ❤️
Full of wisdom. The world feels emptier without him. ❤
He is a masterpiece in his way, adamant and self aware ! Rip boss
Thanks for the interview, Becky. This one is for the ages. RIP Legend
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $2m with the help of my advisor from an initial $350k investment.
impressive gains! how can I get your advisor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now
Evelyn Alicia Schoenholtz' is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
As I'm watching this treasure of a man speak, I keep forgetting his age. To be so measured and speaking so intelligently at that age is nothing short of remarkable. Truly one of a kind human being.
It's always a pleasure to hear Charlie's insights on everything. If only we were all as wise and honest as he demonstrated. R.I.P the LEGEND Charlie Munger.
I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances
MEGHAN MAUREEN KRISTENSEN is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance

I had a few tearful moments. Charlie, you are memorable.
Thank you Charlie for the wisdom and the unfiltered speeches. We keep soldiering through!! R.I.P
I cant get enough of Charlie. So happy I saw him in person.
Absolutely brilliant - a generational gem. Thank you Charlie for all of your wisdom. Becky is amazing in all of these interviews and her friendship and reverence for Charlie is absolutely adorable
RIP to a real legend and Thanks to Becky and CNBC for doing this awesome interview/video.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 15% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any advisor i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
I only work with “Debra Marie Styner” . She is a highly respected financial consultant in the industry. For further information or to connect with her, a simple online search with her name will suffice. I wish you every success in your endeavors.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
This should be required viewing and studying for every high school student. RIP great mind and man.
Charlie will always be my hero ❤
His words will never age
Brilliant man, excellent interviewer. Thank you CNBC for this fitting tribute. They don’t make em like Charlie anymore.
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".
Thank you Charlie for everything you have done for me! You were one of a kind and a true legend! RIP
Thank you Becky for the fantastic last interview!
Thank you Becky. I’ll keep coming back to this interview in the years to come. I’ll miss Charlie forever
To quote him, “weren’t we lucky to have him”. Simply an amazing individual.
REST IN PEACE CHARLIE MUNGER!!!! A world class exceptional mind and talent! This is the first time in my life that I am feeling deep sadness about a well-known public figure! I hope death was a quick and easy experience for him. His contributions to humanity were an example of why America is the greatest country on planet Earth!
My deepest sympathies to Warren Buffett, and the rest of his family and friends!
I hoped that Becky would give the final interview of this legend. It was flawless! Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to do that interview with Mr. Munger. I enjoyed it !
Had the opportunity to work at his namesake law office for over 20 years. Great memories attending attorney luncheon with Warren Buffet as guest speaker. Was friends with his assistant. He and Warren are very humble men.
I've seen the loss of more celebrities than I can count in my life...and I've never felt anything when they were gone...but Charlie passing away hurt. The wisdom, the life lessons, the loyalty to BRK and shareholders, the integrity, it just seems so rare these days. A national treasure that influenced me significantly in my life. My life would not be what it is today. my understanding, my world views had I not picked up a book about Warren at the local thrift shop when I was younger, read it cover to cover, discovered BRK and the gang from Omaha. thank you Charlie for the impact you made with your time here.
RIP Chalie & thanks Becky for the brilliant interview
What I admire most about Charlie and Warren: their honesty and authenticity. They don’t blow smoke and shine people on
What an incredible thing to watch. A real treat to hear his words, parting ones as it turns out. A gift to us all. Wisdom.
Oh Lord I didn't got the news that Charlie Munger left us last year.
RIP legendary investor. May he be peaceful & blissful wherever the soul may be.
Wow, this is very admirable for him to do this as he was so close to passing
Extrañamos a Charles Munger tanto. Un ser humano de gran corazón. Un abrazo desde México♥️.
R.I.P. Mr Charlie Munger. His wisdom and contributions were most popular among other wise investors, well read influencers and leaders. Recently I had the good fortune to become aware of his contributions from a popular influencer and am thankful to have learned of him.
Comfort to his family, loved ones and his long-time business partner Mr. Warren Buffett.🙏🏼🙏🏾
He was an amazing great man. I finished listening to the interview. a lot of wisdom . The way he spoke was still quite powerful.
RIP Charlie. Thank you for all the worldy lessons. A truly wonderful teacher.
Fantastic interviews. Thanks for sharing
Dear CNBC, please add subtitles. This guy is a treasure of wisdom not just for native English speakers but for people like me too with a slightly lesser command over the English language, I believe.
Becky as always thoughtful and respectful
Wow, such a powerful interview and great questions asked
I'll never forget the principles this man has left me
Becky & CNBC, a simple thank you from me for this beautiful interview.
Great job! Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Not at all, having monitor edge my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $473k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market. I must say it's the boldest decision I've taken since recently.
@@hasede-lg9hj Please pardon me, who guides you on the process of it all?
The adviser I'm in touch with is Vivian Carol Gioia. You can use something else, for me her strategy works hence my result. she provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
He looks like he’s in such a great shape I am surprised that he left this life soon after the interview. Rest in peace, Charlie. We miss you
Yeah but his voice was quite weak... And watch the back of his hand...
I really miss Mr Munger already.
I always liked the way Warren speaks than "Charlie!?' .
RIP Mr Munger from Japan.
Brilliant conversation with the great man. Thanks Becky.
Great interview, intelligent and thought provoking questions.
Masterful and Captivating
Thank you, Charlie, Becky and CNBC
Charlie Munger become the good friend of many people for such a long time, anyone who ever saw him will remember he is a nice energetic gentlemen,rest in peace, miss you
Thank you for this great interview. RIP Charlie Munger.
Thank you Mrs. Quick for the grace and delicacy you have shown towards Mr. Munger. Rest in peace Great legend
Before Charlie I lost a lot of money after I started listening to him things changed 100%. Now I make money . But what I loved most of him and still do is his wisdom and decency . I can’t follow greed but wisdom and decency . To me it was easy to apply his principles because I 100 % agreed with him. Decency is the way to excellence and wealth. RIP dear Charlie. 🕯️✨💝🙏🏻
The amount of people, on top of investors, that Charlie inspired is countless. The world is a better place given the wisdom that he shared.
Thanks for this interview Becky
Thank you Charlie for sharing your wisdom! A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger teaches the investment principles key to their success.
I had an awful psychiatrist who would talk to me exactly like this journalist Becky.
She was completely out to lunch half the time but getting paid the big bucks.
great interview. RIP Charlie Munger.
Charlie was a legend. Absolutely love this guy.
Great interview!
Something different hits me with this interview.
I think it’s bc Charlie was 99.
A responsibility to continue the effort, thoughts, and progression that capitalism brings, (layered innovation) and to enhance as many lives bc of those before us and their hard work, physical and with their minds.
The comment on Freud made me belly laugh. I love and miss this man.
Thank you to Charlie and Becky
I ❤ Charlie, I miss him. rip
Excellent interview, some great insights. Legend.
Charlie was an icon. His legacy will live on for generations. 🙏
Great Piece. Although I’m a “Book Nut” myself, I appreciate being alive in the time of technology that enabled me to see and hear the wisdom of a fascinating person.
Thanks
Loved him. Felt sorry for Becky. She loved the old man too. And she could see the change from the last Berkshire meeting. Bet she had tears on the ride to LAX.
Huge respect
Very well done!
Never met the bloke but my goodness I liked and admired the fella.
Though gone he has been such an influence on me I shall never forget him.
R.I.P Legend 🙏🏾
This really just sadened me. I did not know he died. Just learned he passed around the time I buried my father. R.I.P. to two great men...... my Dad and Charlie.
Rest in Paradise Charlie... thanks for your dedication and works for the world. Love always ... 💕 🙌🏿 🙏 🌹 💐 ❤ 🌼
astonishing the age gap between the two, Becky though looks like a middle age woman (she is 51) she was born exactly when Charlie was 50 years old , that blew my mind
Rest in Peace Mr. Munger, you inspired millions and your legacy will live for many years more!
Becky was like a daughter for Charlie. What a smart conversation.
A true genius taught good fundamentals next to Warren Buffett you will be missed
A real legend , and while he talks of arrogance , in all interviews I found him to have humility, and live out the saying " Rather choose the freedom of a humble life than the slavery of extravagance " . I think Becky Quick handled this with such delicacy and professionalism , which was probably tough for her , having walked the path with him and Mr Buffet for so many years.
While I never met Charlie, through hundreds of hours of listening to his talks and reading various writings of his, he (along with Warren) have been mentors of mine in the the investment industry. In a world that constantly looks for quick ideas and dollars made from said ideas, Charlie's lifelong love for learning, grounded in reason, informs how my firms serves clients as a fiduciary in every aspect of what we do. While he is already missed, he will certainly not be forgotten, and the lessons he taught will fuel generations not just of investors, but as entrepreneurs and as leaders. Thank you Charlie for all you contributed, including the many people like me that never had the opportunity to meet you but have been positively influenced by your work.
