Lunch date with Buffett fetches $2.34 Million on eBay

New York: It takes millions of dollars to have lunch with legendary investor Warren Buffett and a bidder has snatched up the opportunity by agreeing to shell out $2.34 million in an online charity auction. However, the highest bid this year was less than last year's record bid price of $2.62 million. The proceeds from the auction, conducted every year on online marketplace eBay, would be used for charity purposes. According to information available on the eBay website, the highest bidder has offered to pay USD 2.34 million for a lunch with Buffett following a six-day auction that ended on June 10. The opening bid was USD 25,000. The winner of the auction and seven others would get to dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in New York.
