WARREN BUFFETT HAS LEFT THE TABLE. HOMELESS CHARITY ASKS INVESTORS TO BID ON MEAL WITH SOFTWARE CEO

The Glide Foundation said that it will hold an auction on eBay next month for a private lunch with Salesforce Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff.
WARREN BUFFETT HAS LEFT THE TABLE. HOMELESS CHARITY ASKS INVESTORS TO BID ON MEAL WITH SOFTWARE CEO

The San Francisco-based charity helps the homeless and those in poverty in the same city where Benioff oversees a software empire.

The final auction of a lunch with Buffett two years ago attracted a record $19 million price that isn’t likely to be matched. The revered investor has legions of devoted followers who fill an Omaha arena every spring at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting to listen to Buffett’s insights, and he had said ahead of time that 2022 would be his last auction.

Still, Glide hopes that the Benioff auction will also raise significant funds to support the organization’s $31 million budget, which provides meals, health care, job training, rehabilitation and housing for the poor and homeless. Buffett said it always amazed him how the charity helped people in difficult situations find hope again.
