Sold to the highest bidder at annual charity auction

 

A private lunch with Omaha billionaire Warren Buffett has been sold to the highest bidder at $3.4 million during an annual charity auction

The bid of $3,456,789 ties for the record highest bid. In 2012, the winner also paid $3,456,789.

This year's winner wishes to remain anonymous.

The weeklong eBay auction began Sunday and wrapped up Friday night.

The auction benefits the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco-based homeless charity. Buffett's first wife, Susie, volunteered with the organisation.

Susie Buffett died in 2004, but the connection between Warren Buffett and Glide's founders has endured

Great gesture ... So the question is ... Which person would you pay to have lunch with ... and why ?
