Warren Buffett on Tuesday said the anonymous bidder who agreed last week at an annual charity auction to pay $3,456,789 to have lunch with him, matching the previous record high, is a woman.
The top bid to dine with the chairman of the conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N) was $200,100 at 12 p.m. EDT on Monday, but will likely surge by the time the auction on eBay (EBAY.O) ends on Friday night.
