The cost to dine with investor Warren Buffett has apparently spiked
in value, with one deep-pocketed bidder forking over nearly $3.5 million
during a charity auction Friday night.
The annual auction for a private lunch with the Nebraska billionaire
closed following a flurry of activity in the final hours. In the end,
the highest bid was a record-breaking $3,456,789.
The auction benefits the Glide Foundation, which helps the homeless
in San Francisco. Buffett has raised more than $11.5 million for the
group in 13 past auctions. The event provides a significant portion of
Glide's roughly $17 million annual budget that pays for social services
to the poor and homeless.
