New York, NY (AHN) - A Hong Kong investor has paid $2.1 million for one of the priciest lunches ever with billionaire Warren Buffet. The lunch, part of an annual charity auction on eBay, wins Zhao Danyang three hours with Buffet, head of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The auction benefits the San Francisco, Calif.-based Glide Foundation for the poor and homeless.

This year's eBay event, the sixth in a row, tops the $650,100 two investors paid for a lunch with Buffet in 2007.

In 2006, Buffet said he would start to shed his millions, giving much of it to the Bill and Melinda Foundation.
