Lunch with Warren Buffett …. for merely $500,000

Every year the Sage of Omaha gives bidders on Ebay the opportunity to have lunch with him in return for donating the proceeds to a charity aimed at fighting poverty.  As of tonight, a little more than 24 hours before the close of the auction, the bidding is at $500,400.

 

Last November I got to have lunch with Buffett for free when a group of students from Kenan-Flagler were invited to attend a one hour question and answer session with Buffett in his Omaha office and had lunch with him later at his favorite restaurant. All I had to pay was the cost of the hotel room and the plane ticket there.
