"Last Word"-The Lunch With Buffett Bidding War Begins
Monday, June 23, 2008SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, there's still no such thing as a free lunch especially when you're dining with Warren Buffett. EBay is auctioning off a lunch with the billionaire investor. As of this afternoon, the bidding stands at just over $40,000. The auction benefits the Glide Foundation, which provides services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco. Bidding ends Friday at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time. This is the sixth year of the auction. Last year, two investors paid more than $650,000 to dine with Buffett. And Paul, I can't imagine what's on the menu.
PAUL KANGAS: Well, I tell you, if the gratuity wasn't included I would volunteer to wait on the table.
PRATT: Absolutely.
