Overview

  • Organizers announced Tuesday that Warren Buffett will bring back his charity lunch with Stephen and Ayesha Curry, reviving a fundraiser that has collected more than $50 million since 2000.
  • The auction will run on eBay from May 7 at 7:30 p.m. PDT to May 14 at 7:30 p.m. PDT.
  • The winning bidder can bring up to seven guests to a June 24 lunch in Omaha with Buffett and the Currys.
  • Proceeds will be split evenly between GLIDE, which serves people facing poverty and homelessness, and Eat. Learn. Play., which supports childhood literacy, nutrition and active play.
  • Reuters reports Buffett said he will match the winning bidder’s donation, a move that could boost totals beyond the prior $19 million record set in 2022.
