The 87-year-old chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc -  who earlier this year placed third on the latest Forbes rich list  - has been offering the exclusive meal for the past 19 years to help raise money for charity. In 2012 and 2016, the eBay auction saw the opportunity sell for $3.5m (£2.6m), and the latest edition drew 136 bids from just six bidders between Monday and Friday. The winning bidder will be able to invite up to seven friends for the luxurious dining experience at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan, with Mr Buffett promising to discuss anything and everything - apart from what he might invest in next.
