The California homeless charity that received $53 million over the years from investors who wanted a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffett has found a new business executive to auction off a meal with.
The Glide Foundation said Tuesday that it will hold an auction on eBay next month for a private lunch with Salesforce Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff . The San Francisco -based charity helps the homeless and those in poverty in the same city where Benioff oversees a software empire.The final auction of a lunch with Buffett two years ago attracted a record $19 million price that isn't likely to be matched.
Buffett endorsed the new arrangement from his office at Berkshire's small headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. Benioff has urged his fellow CEOs to do more to help the homeless and remedy the inequalities in society that they helped create. He's also taken stands on polarizing issues such as gay rights, climate change and gun control. 'The baton is in the right hands with Marc Benioff,' Buffett said. 'He's going to do a wonderful job improving on what I did over the years.
