One way Billionaire Warren Buffett help raise money for charity is by offering followers the opportunity to have lunch with him.

Just a day before the annual charity auction concludes, the lunch with Buffet can cost as much as $ 3.5 million as it did earlier this week.

The highest bidder will win the chance of having a private lunch with the head of the Berkshire Hathaway Foundation.

The online auction, which is run by eBay, launched last Sunday with an estimated $ 25,000 to exceed the record high of $ 345,6789 the next day .

The highest bidder and seven friends can have supper with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse in Manhattan.

Gains from the auction will support the San Francisco's charity Glide, which serves the poor, homeless and drug addicts.

Since 2000, Buffett collected an overall of $ 29.6 million for the Glide auctions. Meantime, the auction ended on Friday surpassing 2012 and 2016 estimates.
