Buffett-Curry Charity Lunch Auction Raises $11.5 Million
A charity auction for a lunch with billionaire investor Warren Buffett and NBA superstar Stephen Curry concluded with a winning bid of US$9 million (S$11.5 million). The weeklong eBay auction ended on May 14, 2026, though the winner's identity remains undisclosed. The event is scheduled for June 24 in Omaha, Nebraska, where Buffett and the Currys will dine with the winner and up to seven guests. Proceeds will be split between the Glide Foundation, which supports homeless and impoverished individuals in San Francisco, and Eat. Learn. Play., a nonprofit founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry focused on child nutrition and literacy. Significantly, Warren Buffett pledged to match the winning bid for each organization, effectively doubling the contribution and bringing the total donation to approximately US$27 million. This initiative highlights Buffett’s long-standing belief in collaborative efforts between business leaders and nonprofits. Buffett, who has raised over US$53 million for Glide through previous auctions, continues his philanthropic legacy as he donates the majority of his fortune to charitable trusts overseen by his children.
