For most billionaires, the words "ocean-view" and "gated community" are the starting point—not the road not taken. But Charlie Munger wasn't most billionaires. The longtime Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman, who died just weeks shy of his 100th birthday in November 2023, spent nearly seven decades living in the same modest Los Angeles home. Not only was it far from flashy, but according to The Wall Street Journal, it didn't even have air conditioning. During a brutal heat wave three years before his death, friends reportedly lugged in electric fans and bags of ice just to cool down his library.

California also has more dry heat. I would like to see them in humid weather! No way they would stay without AC.Replies require login.
