Would you pay $2,110,100 for luch? That is what Zhao Danyang of the Hong Kong-based Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund did. He won the eBay bid to have lunch with Mr. Warren Buffet. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Glide, which provides social services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco.

Warren Buffet is a genius. The USCF should learn from him.
That guy from Hong Kong can have lunch with me for just $1 Million.
What a deal!
Hmmm. I think he is paying for the company- rather than the lunch- very misleading title!
(Warren Buffet is known as a great investor (like investor world champion if you like) and is up there with Bill Gates in the rich league)
But someone who can afford to pay 2 million dollars to meet Buffet can’t be doing too badly himself!
If they paid $2.1 million for lunch with Buffet, just think what they’d pay for one with a 3-time world champion? Any takers?
I would!
Unfortunately I do not have 2 Million! 🙁
Lets get these guys to sponsor some chess tournaments. The Warren Buffet World Open in Lubbock Texas.
Warren could donate a lunch each year and the $2,000,000 can go to the prize fund. I bet they would show up from all over thw world.
Imagine if the Open Section had a million dollar first prize. wow. Now that is the chess I have dreamed about all my life.
