Someone paid more than $9 million to have lunch<\/a> with basketball player Stephen Curry<\/a> and Warren Buffett<\/a>, and the legendary investor also promised to match the winning bid so both their favorite charities will benefit.<\/p>\n

The auction on eBay was intended to revive an event that Buffett hosted for more than two decades that raised $53 million for the GLIDE Foundation homeless charity in San Francisco. This year’s auction that wrapped up Thursday night also raised month for Curry’s Eat.Learn.Play. Foundation that he established with his wife, Ayesha.<\/p>\n
