By JOSH FUNK | AP Business WriterOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Charlie Munger, who’s been Warren Buffett’s right-hand man for more than five decades, has made a $40 million gift to a California museum.Munger gave 77 Class A Berkshire Hathaway shares to the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Museum in San Marino, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At Thursday’s closing price of $523,545.06 a share, that made the gift worth more than $40.3 million.Huntington spokeswoman Susan Turner-Lowe said the donation will be used to build more than 30 residences for visiting scholars to use while they spend time at the museum doing research.Turner-Lowe said scholars often spend a school year studying at the Huntington and the expensive rental market in Los Angeles has made that difficult to afford. She said this is “a long-time dream that is in the process of being fulfilled in a major way.”A decade ago, Munger gave the Huntington museum nearly $33 million worth of ...Cal Bears linebacker Elarms-Orr hungry for tackles and experience: ‘I’m striving to be the best’
