Whomever this anonymous bidder is, you know he or she isn’t too concerned about breaking records, since, if just one more dollar had been added to that figure, it would have become the highest figure ever paid for a single charity item on eBay. The other item to hold that distinction? That would be… lunch with Warren Buffett, which also went to an anonymous bidder for $3,456,789 in 2012.
