OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – An anonymous bidder has offered more than $ 4.5 million for a private luncheon with investor-billionaire Warren Buffett, beating the previous record of nearly $ 3.5 million set in 2012 and 2016.

An online auction that raised funds for the Glide Foundation's homelessness work in San Francisco ended Friday night on eBay with a winning bid of $ 4,567,888.

It's the twentieth year that Berkshire Hathaway's CEO in Omaha has been participating in the expensive lunch auction, giving the winner a chance to meet the famous investor and philanthropist. The auction starts at 25,000 USD and the auction has only ended once at less than 2 million USD since 2010. Buffett has collected nearly 30 million USD for the charity over the years.

The winning bidder and up to seven friends can dine with Buffett at Smith & Wollensky in New York.
