twitterLunch sells for $202,100
Friday, July 9, 2004 | 9:08 a.m.
A lunch for eight with billionaire investor Warren Buffett sold for $202,100 in an auction benefiting a charity on EBay Inc.'s Web site.
A bidder with the user name jchoo9 who is registered in Singapore won the 10-day auction, beating two other contenders who entered multiple bids on EBay's site. Proceeds from the auction will go to the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that aids the homeless and poor.
"Warren Buffett is a great light to people in need," said the Rev. Cecil Williams, chief executive of Glide.
The winner will dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steak house in New York, which is contributing $10,000 to Glide to host the meal.
