Winning Bid for Coffee With Tim Cook: $610K

Someone just paid $610,000 to have coffee with Tim Cook sometime in the next year. A charity auction for up to one hour with the Apple CEO closed yesterday, and the winning bid was quite a bit higher than Charitybuzz's suggested value of $50,000, NPR reports. The winner is still anonymous at this point, but NPR earlier looked at the list of bidders and figures many of them wanted to talk with Cook about their businesses or projects. The site required any bids higher than $500,000 to be authenticated using bank records. (More Tim Cook stories.)
