Bidding for Warren Buffett's dinner reached a record $12 million
The latest day of bidding for a charity dinner with Warren Buffett got even more interesting.
As recently as Thursday night, the highest price for the opportunity to dine with the billionaire investor and seven guests at Smith & Wollensky restaurant in New York was just over $3 million. But at 11:03 a.m. Friday morning in New York, the amount more than tripled to $11 million and then rose to $12.3 million within half an hour.
Whoever won the bidding would easily break the record set in 2019 by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun, who paid $4.57 million for lunch with the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
This luncheon auction will be Buffett's last. The annual auction, which began in 2000 and was interrupted for two years during the pandemic, raised more than $34 million to support the Glide Foundation, which offers programs to fight poverty and homelessness, Bloomberg.
