Munger has given substantial monetary gifts to the University of Michigan and to Stanford University, the alma mater of his daughter and his late wife. Two of his major contributions, to the University of Michigan and to UC Santa Barbara, have sparked controversy over his insistence that they be used for residence halls of his own designs, which feature windowless bedrooms.
Munger is a Republican, though he is an outspoken proponent of a single-payer healthcare system, calling the U.S. system “insane” and a “national disgrace”.
Charlie Munger has been married twice. His first marriage, to Nancy Jean Huggins, lasted from 1945-1953. His second marriage, to Nancy Borthwick, lasted from 1956 until her passing in 2010. He has had 7 children and 2 stepchildren from his two marriages.
