Re: Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?
well this is pretty misleading, because the proceeds went to charity.
if I'm already giving 16k to charity anyways, I would change who I gave it to in order to have lunch with a lot of interesting people..

Sorry to come up with the right answer and ruin your thread.
Warren Buffett Lunch with him would be worth $16k to practically everyone on this board (assuming you would be smart enough to listen to him)...easily.

I just don't see what information he would and could give out that would be all that ground breaking. His basic investing outlook can be found in the above book. I guess if you got a few really good tips it could be worth it but from what I've read about him, this seems highly unlikely when it comes to information that is not already within the public domain.

Re: Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?
For me, it'd be a no-brainer. With the basic investing sense I already have and my current net worth, combined with future earnings potential, I'd know how to get my $16k worth out of that lunch.
I guess I may have overestimated how many people would be making a +EV decision by eating lunch with Buffett, but if you knew what to ask him and what to do with his answers, you don't need much in terms of assets to make him worth your while. There are a lot of smart people who work very hard to make sure Mr. Buffett's money is well-invested. I definitely think the work put into those decisions, combined with Buffett's knowledge and hard work is worth more than 16k.
