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

gonores,

That's a pretty silly post. Makes you sound both arrogant and ignorant, imo.

You vastly overestimate how much you're going to take away from a lunch w/ Buffett.

You will get far more out of reading and studying his writings/actions than having lunch with him.

It's not like you're going to have lunch and he'll be like "well, gonores, here's my tip. My team has been working hard analyzing every company around and CRUNK!!! Energy Drink is definitely going to be the next Coca-Cola. Get in now!!!!!"

Edited to add: If this were something like 16k to be an intern/assistant to Buffett for a year, whole different ballgame.
