Man Pays $2.68 Million To Have Dinner With Warren Buffett by Godson222: 6:23am On Jun 11, 2017
In an auction on eBay that was concluded friday, a man pledged $2.68 million, highest out of 41 bid, to a charity called Glide, in exchange for lunch with world’s second richest man, Warren Buffett, who is worth $76.2b.


Glide is a San Francisco charity that serves meals to the homeless, hosts support groups through its women’s center for abuse victims and provides treatment for drug addiction.



“Warren Buffett and the generous bidders enable us to provide a holistic array of high quality services that meet critical needs, improve lives and elevate the human spirit,” Glide’s co-founder Janice Mirikitani said.

The billionaire first wife volunteered for Glide and she died in 2004, and since then, Buffett’s auction efforts have brought in more than $26 million for the group since 2000.



The highest bidder will bring seven friends to dine with the billionaire at New York’s Smith & Wollensky steakhouse.



Other donations include; Ten dollars provides a fried-chicken lunch for two and $80 pays for a 40-minute legal consultation.



Last year top bid for lunch with Buffett was $3.46 million.
