Default Re: Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?

L4TV,

What exactly are you going to get out of this lunch that will make it worth the 16k?

Edited to add: The reason people pay that much in a charity auction to have lunch w/ Buffett is to give to charity and get a tax deduction and have lunch w/ Buffett, not to get 16k+ worth of investment advice.

Edited again after L4TV's edit to add: If an hour lunch makes you a notch or two better investor, then you were probably a pretty crappy investor to begin with and it is highly unlikely you would really be able to take advantage of whatever information he is discussing.
