OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Billionaire Warren Buffett has raised more than $20 million for a San Francisco homeless charity since 2000, and he's about to add to that total by auctioning off a private lunch.
The weeklong eBay auction that began Sunday will wrap up Friday night. Six of the past eight winners paid more than $2 million.
The highest winning bid for the annual lunch came in 2012, when a donor paid more than $3.4 million. That lunch remains the most expensive individual charity item ever sold on eBay.
The auctions benefit the Glide Foundation. They began after Buffett's first wife, Susie, showed him theorganization, where she had volunteered.
Susie Buffett died in 2004, but the connection between Warren Buffett and Glide's founders has endured.
