Charlie Munger is a college dropout who served as a meteorologist in the US Army Air Corps before graduating from Harvard Law.
And then he met Warren Buffett.
The rest is history.
As vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Munger is Buffett's right-hand man. He has an estimated net worth of $1.19 billion.

We compiled a list of Munger's most insightful quotes about investing, business, and life.
