It breaks every record the auction for the famous dinner with the billionaire of the investment Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett, as the top bid, so far, has already exceeded $ 12 million ($ 12,345,678). The auction will close at dawn.
This is clearly a larger amount than their previous record $ 4.57 million when cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun won the auction in 2019, the last time Buffett held the auction in favor of the Glide Foundation, which focuses on social justice and community-based social services. The auction of 2018 brought in $ 3.3 million for the charity.
The auction, which started last Sunday, this year is organized through the eBay platform. Dinner will be hosted this year at one of Buffett’s favorite restaurants, Smith & Wollensky in Manhattan, New York. In fact, the winner of the auction has the right to bring with him up to seven people of his choice.
The president of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has raised more than $ 34.2 million for Glide since 2000.
Buffett’s first wife, Susan, who died in 2004, introduced him to Glide as he volunteered for the charity.
