    I like how Becky lets him talk. So many other interviewers need to prove themselves or have a point to make.
  • @darrenprior6339
    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.
  • @MosesKim-je5rj
    Munger makes you realize why any great civilization always needs wise elders playing a prominent role.
  • @alm9368
    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.
  • @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.
  • @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
  • @jasondima1411
    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
  • @trepan4944
    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.
  • @neilvarghese6115
    One of the greatest interviews in world history if you truly understand what he says. He who has ears let him hear
  • @iqstudios1
    Perhaps the best interview I've seen Becky do. Authentic, educational, and moving.

  • @milpitians5621
    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.
  • @wisacq
    The zest in his eyes for conversations and storytelling is so exciting to watch for a 100 year old man.
  • Thank you Becky and everyone contributed to making this interview, the last dose of wisdom ❤️
  • @Clorisluta
    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?
  • @jteep
    Full of wisdom. The world feels emptier without him. ❤
  • @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
  • @JMXTREE
    Charlie will always be my hero ❤
  • @dzenoAnic
    Thank you Charlie for the wisdom and the unfiltered speeches. We keep soldiering through!! R.I.P
  • @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".
