00:00Charlie Munger said the point of getting rich isn't yachts or power.
00:03It's so you don't need anyone.
00:05And he meant it.
00:05Just weeks before turning 100,
00:07the Berkshire Hathaway legend gave one of his rawest interviews.
00:10No fluff, no filters.
00:12He said the real value of money isn't in luxury.
00:14It's in independence.
00:16So you don't have to get along with people.
00:17So you can say, to hell with them.
00:19Munger hated chasing investors, hated consultant meetings,
00:22hated being forced to pitch ideas.
00:23He called it friction.
00:25And once he had enough wealth, he walked away from all of it.
00:27I'd rather just operate with my own money.
00:29But he didn't pretend success was a solo act.
00:31It took three things.
00:33Intelligence, hard work, and luck.
00:35And when opportunity came, he said,
00:37bet heavily when you have an edge.
00:38Most people don't teach that.
00:40Munger's philosophy was simple.
00:41Clarity over chaos and trust over trend chasing.
00:44Freedom, not fame, was the goal.
00:46What would you do if you never had to answer to anyone again?
