Charlie Munger, left, and Warren Buffett, right, have been partners at Berkshire Hathaway for just over 40 years.

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger never fight.

The pair discussed their working relationship on CNBC in 2018, but their partnership predates this interview by several decades.

With Buffett as Chairman and CEO and Munger as Vice Chairman, the two have run holding company Berkshire Hathaway together since 1978. The company is the world's fourth-largest public company, and has made Buffett the third-richest man in the world with an estimated net worth of $83.1 billion.

The duo met at a dinner party in their hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where the two found much in common, including a sense of humor and the fact that they both worked for Buffett's grandfather at the town supermarket as teenagers.

"The main thing we learned from the grocery store is we didn't want to work in a grocery store," Buffett told CNBC.
