Earlier this week we noted how Warren Buffett’s annual luncheon auction was off to a strong start. In mid-afternoon on Monday, the luncheon was bid up at just over $350,000. Now in mid-Wednesday afternoon, the bidding has eclipsed the $600,000 mark.

The proceeds are not for Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A). They are for the GLIDE Foundation. The question to ask is what a lunch with one of the wealthiest men on the planet is worth, AND if it is worth it. Not too many people get to have lunch with Warren Buffett — ditto for lunch and breakfast.

eBay now shows that the auction has fetched some 59 bids, and the top bid is now $600,100.00. The official bidding ends on June 6, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Bidding in 2013 ended at a somewhat disappointing $1,000,100 for lunch with Buffett. Still, prior years had seen much higher results above $2 million. The highest the auction has hit in any year was north of $3.45 million back in 2012.

As we have reminded our readers, not all these luncheons are just charity for those who have lunch with, Buffett. He hired two-time auction winner Ted Weschler as a portfolio manager for Berkshire Hathaway.

A bid history on eBay is offered below, and of course this shields the bidders’ real names:
