Investor Wins $2.1M Lunch With Buffett

A Chinese investment fund manager won the chance to have lunch with billionaire Warren Buffett by bidding $2.1 million in the most expensive charity auction ever held on eBay. Zhao Danyang of the Hong Kong-based Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund won the auction, which ended Friday evening with a bid of $2,110,100.

It appears that Zhao and Buffett share a similar investment philosophy. The proceeds of the auction go to the Glide Foundation, which provides social services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco. Since last year's lunch brought in a relatively paltry $650,100,  Glide's founder couldn't resist saying, "It almost feels like a miracle." (More Warren Buffett stories.)
