An anonymous fan bid a record $4,567,888 in a charity auction to have lunch with Warren Buffett.
This year’s winning bid is up from $3.3 million last year and tops the previous record of $3,456,789.
The annual auction for lunch with the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Chairman has raised almost $30 million for San Francisco charity Glide, a favorite cause of Mr. Buffett’s first wife, Susie Buffett. Glide offers free meals, health care and other services to homeless and low-income people in San Francisco.
