"Warren Buffett's charity lunch sold for $1.68 million, a 20 percent drop from the price paid in last year's auction" reports the San Francisco Business Times. The name of the final bidder has not yet been announced and the proceeds will again go to the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco church with a huge ministry to the homeless.
As much as the press was poo-pooing the final bid as being a 20% drop from the previous year, I don't think of 1.68 million as chump change (which according to thefreedictionary.com means a "a trifling sum of money").
Critics need a better life -- kudos to Warren Buffett for his gift of time and wisdom and mega-kudos to the top bidder!
