Tim Cook Auctions Apple HQ Lunch Meeting, VIP Passes to Apple Keynote for Charity
For the third year in a row, Apple CEO Tim Cook is participating in a charity auction through CharityBuzz, offering whoever bids the most the chance to enjoy lunch with him at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino. This year's auction also includes two VIP passes to an Apple keynote event to watch Apple unveil new products.
Two people can have lunch with Cook, and the experience will last for approximately one hour. Lunch is included in the auction price, but the winning bidder will need to cover travel and accommodations. The exact date of the lunch will be scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time after the auction ends on May 6, 2015.
The auction has an estimated value of $100,000, and bids are currently up to $37,500. This is the third year that Tim Cook has auctioned off an opportunity to spend time with him, offering a coffee meeting in 2013 that sold for $610,000 and a lunch meeting in 2014 that sold for $330,001.
Proceeds from the auction will once again benefit the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights, a charity that aims to achieve a "just and peaceful world by partnering with human rights leaders, teaching social justice and advancing corporate responsibility."

Q. How much is dinner with Tim Cook worth?
A. Diddly squat - the guy's a muppet.
I'd say that's worth at least $200,000

Here is where I'd like to see that Dr. guy who constantly posts about his two new MacBooks and Apple Watch Edition show us his receipt for his bid on this. ;) :o :cool: :apple:

would be better if they sold tickets to a raffle, so anyone could buy one.
How many people are going to have $100,000 or more for the winning bid?
I agree. People willing to pay that much can probably get a meeting with Tim Cook anyway. It would truly be philanthropy if he gave anyone a chance to win that meeting.

I hate it how the British use "muppet" as if it were a bad word. The Muppets are awesome!!

Whoever wins should ask him why he had such a hissy fit over Indiana yet still does business in Saudi Arabia and other homophobic Islamic countries.

And then the opportunity may go to someone who isn't a millionaire businessman/woman.
