▍原文
An anonymous bidder has shelled out a record $19 million for a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffet at a steakhouse in New York City.
The winning bid at the eBay auction far surpassed the previous record of $4.57 million paid in 2019 by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun.
Buffett has raised $53 million for GLIDE since the auction began in 2000. The past two auctions were called off due to COVID-19 concerns and Buffett has said this will be the last.
