The 'Lunch with Warren Buffett', who is called the investment genius, was suspended for about two years due to the corona virus, but it was put up for auction again.



Interest is even higher as this annual event will be the last for this year.



Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO's annual 'Lunch with Buffett' auction kicks off on eBay on the 12th local time.



The winning bidder will have lunch with Buffett at a famous steakhouse in Manhattan, New York.



The starting price was 25,000 dollars, which was about 32 million won in Korean money, but in less than a day, it jumped to 3.87 billion won.



The auction is scheduled to end on the 17th, so the asking price may go up.



In particular, a lunch event with Buffett has not been held for the past two years due to Corona 19, and Buffett said that the event will be suspended at the end of this year, so the competition for winning bids is expected to intensify.



The highest winning bid ever recorded was about 5.9 billion won written by the founder of the Chinese cryptocurrency Tron in 2019.



Buffett has donated the proceeds from the event every year since 2000 to a charity for the poor in San Francisco.



Cumulative donations exceed KRW 43 billion.
