14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re just dying to ask Tim Cook if Apple is launching that iWatch already, all you need is about a hundred thou’ and a clear schedule on May 13, 2014. That is, if no one else outbids you, in which case you’ll have to consider a bigger donation.
As you might have already guessed, “Lunch with Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple Headquarters in Cupertino” is a charity effort that supports the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights. The meeting will take place at Caffe Macs, which is the Apple cafeteria, at the 1 Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino, California.
The last time this happened, over half a million dollars were raised ($610,000 / €440,000), so you can be sure it’ll cost you more than the current bid – $62,500 / €45,150 (at the time of this writing) – to sit down with the big kahuna.
The “estimated value” of the whole experience is $100,000 / €72,300, which is essentially an incentive for bidders to dig deep into their pockets and make it count. Which is certainly good, since the richest 1% of adults in the world own 40% of the planet's wealth, according to some studies. Anyone with less than a yacht and a garage full of Lambos probably doesn’t stand a chance is all I’m saying.
