Warren Buffett Lunch

Warren Buffett's annual lunch for charity has almost doubled in value this year. In 2005 an anonymous bidder paid an impressive $350,000 to dine with the billionaire stock market investor. This year the 45 year old Californian investor Yongping Duan has won the auction on Ebay for $620,100.
That's one expensive steakhouse meal!

Chance to Dine With Buffett Sells for $620,100 in EBay Bidding
Duan gets to bring seven friends to a New York steakhouse to query Buffett, the world's second-richest man, about his business strategy and investment philosophy. The 75-year-old chairman and chief executive officer of Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. transformed a failing textile manufacturer into a $142 billion holding company by acquiring out-of-favor securities and businesses in dozens of industries.
