An anonymous bidder has offered a whopping $19 million for a private lunch with Warren Buffet who directs such money for his charity cause. The unnamed bidder would be having a private meal with the Billionaire business man Warren Buffet at a steakhouse in New York City, according to The Associated Press.
The meal with
the Berkshire Hathaway CEO was offered on an eBay auction to benefit the
San-Francisco-based charity GLIDE. GLIDE helps homeless people and those in
poverty.
According to
The Associated Press Buffet has raised $53 million for GLIDE since the auction
began in 2000. The charity earned the philanthropist billionaire’s support when
his first wife, Susie, introduced him to it after she started volunteering
there. She died in 2004.
“It’s been
nothing but good,” Buffett said of the charity lunch in a news release, according
to The Associated Press. “I’ve met a lot of interesting people from all over
the world. The one universal characteristic is that they feel the money is
going to be put to very good uses.”
The lunch
with the 91-year old billionaire is the first since the previous record setting
bid of $4.5 million by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in 2019.
