With 4 Days To Go, Bid For Warren Buffett Lunch Tops $1 Million
Within hours of opening, the bid is now above $1mm...
Since it opened, the bidding has accelerated...
We assume Dan Loeb is not bidding...
“I love reading Warren Buffett’s letters and I love contrasting his words with his actions,” he began. Lest anyone think it was a put-down, he quickly added, “He’s a very wise guy.”
But wise or not, Mr. Loeb had a few critical things to say about Mr. Buffett. “I love how he criticizes hedge funds, yet he had the first hedge fund,” Mr. Loeb said. “He criticizes activists, he was the first activist. He criticizes financial services companies, yet he loves to invest in them. He thinks that we should all pay taxes, yet he avoids them himself.”
To this, the audience erupted in laughter.

I put a bid in for $2MM, but it was rejected for some reason. Maybe because my bid included a question: "May I vomit on Mr. Buffet during the lunch?"
To benefit the goats and pot-belly pig rescue foundation ???????

Peak Buffet? Market signal?
So the Tip Buffet leaves is still his regular 5%?
Really? The scumbag should be sitting in a federal penitentiary along with these admitted parasites looking for a few crumbs. Just pitiful.
Amen, Brother!
If I won I'd have him lightly breaded and pan fried with a side of asparagus and Bearnaise.
I wouldn't eat lunch with the Buffoon even if he had a billion.....
The moment you become a serious bidder you'll have an army of investigators scouring you past for any... irregularity.
Could someone arrange for Paris Hilton's goat to win the auction?
"...other land and wildlife conservancy groups, agricultural purposes, preservation of land in its natural state"
And right there, the punchline. I wonder where private property rights fit in...? Well, they actually do - just not for the proles. Plenty for Warren though.
On my list of things to do with a million, lunch with dear uncle Warren is at the bottom....
Doesn't even make my list of the things to do with a million.
$1mm?
Do we at least get to see Becky Quick do a little finger blasting?
Bedding Becky Quick?
Bidding starts at $1 !!
.
Anyone know what these went for in previous years? Is this peak bidding?
Lunch complete with a TSA body scan no doubt, finger food, no steak knives, Dixie cups and a Popsicle....watch it
Warren..as kids we used to sharpen them Popsicle sticks on the concrete and
make knifes out of them.
W.T.F.
imagine the price you'd have to pay for a lunch with Tyler!
All of the Tylers? Might want to have that one catered.
In all seriousness, I'd break bread with them. But they're into the whole anonymity thing, so outreach to their audience isn't likely to be high on their priority list. And if it was, we would know they were NSA and everyone who showed up for the lunch would be on the government shit list for life. More importantly, Goldman Sachs would have your number.
GLIDE foundation, must be because he's been GLIDING into the taxpayer's ass for a long time.
Fuck the insider trading codger.

Seems to me it would be cheaper to just take the money and buy your own politicians just like uncle warren does.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just more confirmation of too much dumb money frothing.
And this is 'open source' information we're talking about. It's not like one needs Warren to suggest it in a low tone. At that price I'd want their best tenderloin with a side of Nebraska.
WTF is a "power lunch" exactly?
It usually involves some billionaire blasting their load down a politician's throat.
That's fucking funny. I actually did LOL.
Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately it's a true statement.
The cocksuckers get better the higher up the chain of politics you go.
Ending at the top with the Cocksucker in chief.
Yeah....uh. I'll just have the salad.
Thanks,
Tossed I assume? Do you prefer jam or jelly, sir?
I'd like to power the discharge tube from a can of "Great Stuff" foam sealant down his piehole and pull the trigger.
Its a lunch where both Bill and the Hillary speak and the "geezer" pays for some Fed favors. And that explains the price tag.

I would pay $1500 to punch him in the face.
Rumor has it, that the Jackal is the current high bidder.

I paid $5 and won a lunch with Steve LIESman. Ill probably have to pitch in for the tip as Im sure he's a shitty tipper

I don't think slapping Buffet in the face is worth $1 million.
That's too much money for an ice cream and a coke.
WOW.. Nothin like a bunch of Rich Guys Jerkin Each other off! That's all this "amounts" to. This has extra douche baggery written all over it in a divided ZombiEconomy like this.
What a great example of "fools and their money are soon separated."
Has the world heard of the phrase SHILL BIDDING regarding Ebay?
Particularly indicative of anonymous or private bidders with zero to single digit feedback and strangely decimal bid increments!
Not saying Mr Buffet is party to this, of course he will not be :-)
To think that some sucker is going to be poorer by one million just because he is attracted by wealth.
Waw. Whoever said there's a sucker born every minute was absolutely correct.
Aw gee shucks, I am just so clever and so smart but I really don't to admit it, but I guess that since someone is dumb enough to bid on me, I'll just have to go along.
False modesty at its ultimate.
Shit sandwich with asshole for a million bucks. What a deal.
Maybe "Caitlyn" Bruce Jenner can bid up too?
I feel more sorry for the millions across the globe that bought his BS Books thinking value investing actually was how Wanker Warren got rich. If some idiot wants to throw a million bucks away then let them.
I'd rather take my million and divide it up for multiple hotel rooms with Charlotte Mckinney - those boobs of hers are just the best.
Do I want to bid, myself?
Nah, looks like Warren has already done that to avoid the embarrassment of nobody wanting him.
Sadly, he will most likely only be dining with his favorite person.
I wouldnt go for free. what sucker would pay this?
The bid to crap on his grave when he croaks is up to 3 million.
What do you get if you cross an evil, conniving, corrupt bastard with Warren Buffett?
You would still get Warren Buffett!
Warren can pay me 2 million to have lunch with him and not a cent less.
Wouldn't it be funny if someone went in and bid $10 billion, won, and then posetd on their blog a protest message documenting how this guy is a crony capitalist that doesn't deserve his public reputation? Talk about a message that would go "viral."
Then again, never mind, as that person would probably get ten years in prison and Becky Quick would personally visit and punch the person in the nose. LOL
Soup is not a meal.
Make his life hell, stretch out the meals.

I'll bid Warren Buffet's whole financial future instead of one million. Perhaps that would get his attention?
Having lunch with Buffett would feel to me like having lunch with Charles Manson!!
$1000100 for someone with a feedback rating of 1 and the person who gave the feedback is no longer an ebay member. You must be kidding me.
