Is Charlie Munger Blind

In his 50s, after a failed eye cataract surgery that rendered his left eye blind, Munger had his left eye removed due to severe pain. When doctors told him that he had developed a condition that may cause his remaining eye to fill up with blood and become blind too, Munger started taking braille lessons.

What was the tragic event Munger described?

After 8 years of marriage and 3 children, his marriage was not working and divorce followed. Divorce had a huge social stigma attached at that time and it was the first blow for Munger. … He, however, summoned all his courage, worked crazy all week to recover the money lost in the divorce.

Does Charlie Munger own Alibaba?

Munger’s purchase of Alibaba ($BABA) for the Daily Journal, which was first made public in April, is notable for a few reasons. For one, it’s apparently the first time he’s liked a stock in 12 years. And even as the stock continues tanking, Munger has doubled down; some 20% of DJCO’s portfolio now consists of Alibaba.
