The price of lunch with billionaire investor Warren Buffett has topped $2 million again, breaking a previous record for the most expensive charity item ever sold on eBay, AP reported. The final price of $2.6 million was announced Friday night after this year's online charity auction wrapped up at 10:30 p.m. EDT (0230 GMT). The amount is even pricier than the $2.11 million bid in 2008's Buffett lunch auction. Robert Chatwani, director of global citizenship for eBay, said it's the «largest ever single auction for charity that's been sold on eBay» in its 15-year history. «I tell you, some people really want to have lunch with Warren Buffett, huh?» Chatwani said. «It's really exciting.» The lunch auction benefits the Glide Foundation, which provides social services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco. A Glide spokeswoman said Friday's winning bidder wants to remain anonymous. «It means a lot for Glide. They have about a $17 million annual budget, and this is a huge part of that,» spokeswoman Denise Lamott said. «We've been hurting from the economic crisis. This will help, and we're grateful.» The bidding started at $25,000 last Sunday. -- SPA
