Would you pay millions to have lunch with Warren Buffett?
OMAHA, Neb. – The price of a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffett may top several million dollars in an online auction to benefit a California homeless charity.
For the 18th year in a row, Buffett is auctioning off a lunch on eBay to raise money for the Glide Foundation, which helps the homeless in San Francisco.
The chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has raised nearly $24 million through the auctions. Last year’s winner paid $3,456,789, which tied the record set in 2012.
Buffett has praised the charity for the work it does helping people. Buffett became a believer in Glide’s work after his first wife, Susie Buffett, showed him what the group was doing for the poor and homeless.
The bidding ends Friday night.
