One of the world's richest men will be on the menu at a New York steakhouse, when two businessmen, who have forked out a total of $650,100 for the privilege, go to lunch.
To score the lunchtime date with billionaire Warren Buffett, the two men surpassed last year's record bid by more than $30,000.
The auction proceeds will be donated to the Glide Foundation, a non-profit group in San Francisco's Tenderloin district that helps serve poor and homeless people.
The lunch is for up to seven people and will be held at a Manhattan steakhouse run by Smith and Wollensky Restaurant Group.
The businessmen, Mohnish Pabrai, a California-based investor who runs the $600 million Pabrai Investment Funds, and Spier, a friend who runs the Aquamarine hedge fund, funded the lunch bid.
Pabrai says he will be taking his wife and two children and Guy Spier will be bringing his wife.
