Billionaire and investing legend Charlie Munger died on Tuesday at the age of 99.
"Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom and participation," Buffett said in a statement.
Munger was already a wealthy man by the time he joined Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, and went on to grow his fortune to an estimated $2.3 billion by early 2023.
