If you have TONS of money to spare and want to pick the brain of one of a tech mogul, now’s your chance. For the fifth straight year, Apple CEO Tim Cook partners with Charitybuzz to give really rich Apple fans a chance to have a one-hour lunch with him. This year is extra special as it’ll be the first time the lunch will be held at the new Apple Park.
Just like before, the winning bidder can bring one more companion to attend the lunch. Beyond the meal (and perhaps some other secret perks), travel and accommodations in California aren’t covered. The bidding ends on May 16th at 3 p.m. EDT. At the moment there are already nine bids with the highest bid at US$84,888 (around P4.2 million). The auction listing itself has an estimated value of $100,000 (around P5 million).
The proceeds for the charity lunch will go to the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. RFK Center aims for a just and peaceful world and they do their part by partnering with human rights leaders, teaching social justice, and advancing corporate responsibility. Cook is part of RFK Center’s board of directors since last year but he has been a supporter of the charity for years. Last year, the winning bid was at $515,000 (around P25 million), which is $95,000 less than the largest amount raised during the first year Cook hosted this lunch.
