OMAHA, Neb. \u2014 A 24-inch tall, bronze bust sculpture of the late Charlie Munger became a conversation piece for guests who lodged at the Omaha Marriott last weekend for the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting.<\/a><\/p>\n

The hotel, next to Berkshire-owned jewelry store Borsheims, was the preferred quarters for the investment icon, who passed away in November<\/a> at the age of 99, whenever he visited his hometown and the Berkshire headquarters of his longtime partner and confidante Warren Buffett.<\/p>\n

The sculpture, placed in the lobby accompanied by glasses of champagne and brochures, soon grabbed the attention of numerous Berkshire shareholders who walked by and also two special admirers \u2014 Munger’s own daughter Wendy and his longtime executive assistant Doerthe\u00a0Obert.<\/p>\n

“I got back to the lobby and the hotel staff was like ‘Doerthe came down twice to look for you,'” Yu Shu, the 39-year-old artist behind the sculpture, told CNBC in an interview. “Then they called Doerthe and she came down. I gave her a hug, and I told her ‘nice to see you again’ and she’s like ‘we’ve never met before.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
