The annual online bidding war for lunch with billionaire stock-picker Warren Buffett has begun. But the current $71,100 (€51,193) offer means the auction, which finishes on Friday, still has a way to run before it touches last year's record multi-million dollar bid.
The best offer for three courses with the Sage of Omaha was $71,100 at 08:00 GMT, up from the minimum bid of $25,000. There have been 29 bids so far, with the auction set to close late evening US time on Friday.
