Bloomberg.com: U.S.: "Buffett Lunch Fetches $455,100 Bid as Auction Begins on EBay

June 23 (Bloomberg) -- A chance to dine with billionaire investor Warren Buffett drew a high bid of $455,100 in the first hours of a week-long charity auction on EBay Inc.

The winner of the seventh annual fundraiser gets to bring seven friends to a New York steakhouse to query Buffett, the world's second-richest man, about his business strategy and investment philosophy. Last year, an anonymous bidder in Florida paid $351,100, the third-highest price a charity item has ever fetched on EBay, the world's largest online auctioneer."
