Tim Cook’s charity auction for a one-hour meeting with the Apple CEO at the company’s Cupertino headquarters ended today with final bid of $330,001. This auction is Tim Cook’s second fundraiser for Charitybuzz, with last year’s coffee meeting bringing in $610,000.
The winner of the auction will be able to meet with Tim Cook for a one-hour luncheon meeting at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The auction includes the cost of the meal, but the winner must provide their own transportation to the event, which will take place on a “mutually agreed upon date” within the next year. To sweeten the deal, Tim Cook also offered the winner the opportunity to be a VIP guest at an upcoming Apple event.

Proceeds from this year’s auction will go to the RFK Center for Justice & Human Rights, a charity that “strives to achieve Robert Kennedy’s vision of a just and peaceful world by partnering with human rights leaders, teaching social justice and advancing corporate responsibility. This year’s event earned significantly less than last year most likely due to a new credit card requirement for all participants who wanted to bid on the auction.
