Overview

  • The weeklong eBay auction that ended Thursday night drew a top bid of $9,000,100 from an anonymous winner.
  • Proceeds will be split between the GLIDE Foundation and the Currys’ Eat. Learn. Play, and the groups say Buffett will match the full amount for each.
  • GLIDE supports people facing homelessness, poverty, and substance use in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, while Eat. Learn. Play funds meals, literacy, and youth sports in Oakland and beyond.
  • The prize is a private lunch in Omaha with Buffett plus Stephen and Ayesha Curry for the winner and up to seven guests, with most outlets citing June 24 and local station KETV reporting August.
  • The auction revives Buffett’s lunch tradition that raised about $53.2 million from 2000 to 2022, including a record $19 million bid in 2022, after a smaller 2024 spin-off raised $1.5 million.
