Chinese businessman pays $2.35 million to eat lunch with Warren Buffett



A Chinese multimillionaire businessman has agreed to pay $2,345,678 for a private lunch with one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett. He won the charity auction to have dinner with the billionaire investor. The money will benefit the Glide Foundation (a nonprofit in San Francisco that provides food, health care, rehabilitation and other services to the poor and homeless)



According to Reuters, Glide said the man, Zhu Ye, chairman of Beijing-based Dalian Zeus Entertainment Co, submitted the highest of 76 bids to win the five-day auction on eBay, which concluded on Friday night. His bid was well below the $3,456,789 winning bid in 2012, still a record for an eBay charity auction, but will help Glide meet its $16 million annual budget. The 16 auctions have raised about $20.2 million.

The man can invite up to seven friends to eat with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan. Buffett, 84, will talk about almost anything, including philanthropy and life, but not what he is buying and selling.

The auctions began in 2000 after Buffett's first wife Susan introduced him to Glide. She died in 2004.
None of the first three winners paid more than $25,000, but the price soared once the auctions, which had been live only, moved online in 2003.

Buffett is worth $69.2bn ranking fourth worldwide. He is donating nearly all his wealth to charity.
The following are the winning bids in the Glide auctions:

UCL Final: Barcelona Are Champions

Barcelona 360nobs

The Catalans completed their treble tonight, mirroring their 2009 achievement as they won the UCL final match against Juventus in Berlin.
Rakitic, the Croatian that took over Fabregas’ spot, latched onto a Iniesta pass and made no mistake in netting on the 4 minute mark.
The second half was more eventful as Juventus pulled one back via former Los Blancos man, Alvaro Morata.
Suarez did not cease in tensioning the Juve defence and it paid off when he latched on to a rebound and fired home to put Barcelona in the lead again.
Neymar got a goal disallowed, but made up for that in injury time, as he fired home the last shot.
Barcelona are champions of Europe. Rakitic and Suarez and Neymar led them to a 3-1 win over the champions of Italy.

Buhari To Revisit $182m Halliburton Bribery Case, 3 Ex-Leaders Might Be Jailed

General Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has resurrected the $182 million Halliburton bribery case with an aim to carefully prosecute all those involved in the scandal.
This is as a result of the request from the United States government that unless all the culprits were brought to book, part of the bribe money, about $140 million, recovered and still in the US, would not be repatriated to Nigeria.
The United State government’s report on the Halliburton bribery scandal had indicted three former Nigerian leaders, a former number two citizen, a minister, intelligence chiefs and corporate giants in the list of bribery beneficiaries.
Jeffry Tesler, who was the intermediary in the payment of the bribes paid to secure the contract for the final phase of the multi-billion naira Nationa Liquefied Natural Gas project was sentenced to 21 months in prison and forfeited $148.964 million from his Swiss accounts to the United States government.
It was learnt that the case was investigated four years ago by a security panel headed by retired AIG Ahmadu Ali, who at the end of the case charged a former personal aide to a former Head of State to court but the case was later struck out due to lack of diligent prosecution.
