Overview
- An eBay charity auction that closed Thursday drew a $9,000,100 winning bid for a private meal with Warren Buffett, Stephen Curry, and Ayesha Curry.
- The winner remains anonymous, as is typical for these high-profile charity auctions.
- Buffett will match the winning amount for each beneficiary, bringing the total impact to about $27 million split between two nonprofits.
- The lunch is scheduled for June 24 in Omaha, Nebraska, and the winner may bring up to seven guests.
- Proceeds support GLIDE in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, which helps people facing homelessness and addiction, and the Currys’ Eat. Learn. Play., which funds kids’ meals, reading, and safe play in Oakland; the event extends Buffett’s auction tradition that raised $53.2 million from 2000 to 2022, including a $19 million record in 2022.
