Warren Buffett has raised close to $30 million for a San Francisco charity with 19 years of annual auctions, and he’s not finished yet.
Bidding on EBay Inc.’s website opened Sunday evening in the U.S. at $25,000 as the billionaire investor is again offering a chance to pick his brain over lunch at a New York steakhouse. The weeklong auction benefits Glide, whose programs address hunger, poverty and homelessness.
