Stories like this make me wonder if a startup will come along and establish a marketplace for this sort of thing. I certainly don't have millions to offer, but there are people I'd be happy to donate to charity in exchange for a few hours with (dinner or otherwise).
This title makes it sound like he's so full of himself that he'll only eat with the ultra wealthy and those foolish enough to spend millions they can't afford.<p>In reality, he does a charity auction and dines with the "winner" who is essentially a philanthropist with a bit of self-interest thrown in.
I remember when it was $25 to 50k and thinking that was a "steal"...but $2.7 million is ridiculous, though the money does go to a great cause :-).
