Working with Stephen and Ayesha to help launch something new to support these communities is something I’m thrilled to be a part of.”
Online bidding for the lunch opens on eBay on May 7th at 7:30pm PDT and runs until May 14th at 7:30pm PDT. Proceeds benefit the Glide Foundation and Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, a charitable group founded by the Curry family that focuses on childhood literacy, nutrition and active lifestyles. San Francisco-based Glide provides services to vulnerable populations, including meals, shelter, health testing and job training.
The winning bidder — along with up to seven guests — will join Buffett and the Currys for an exclusive luncheon on June 24 in Omaha, Nebraska. Proceeds from the auction will be split evenly between the two charities.
Buffett last hosted the luncheon in 2022, capping a two-decade run that raised millions of dollars for charities. The auction reached its highest ever auction price of $19 million in 2022, raising a total of more than $50 million.
Previous winners have included prominent money managers such as David Einhorn, while Ted Weschler – now an investment manager at Berkshire – was among those who famously paid millions for the opportunity.
