June 11 (Reuters) - An anonymous bidder agreed at auction to pay $3,456,789 to eat lunch with Warren Buffett, tying the record for the right to dine with one of the world's most admired investors. Money will go to Glide, a San Francisco charity that provides food, health care and other services to people who are homeless, poor or struggling with substance abuse.
The five-day auction on eBay (EBAY.O) ended on Friday night. The winning bid matched the sum paid by an anonymous bidder in 2012, the most expensive single charity item sold on eBay. Buffett has held 17 annual auctions for Glide, raising about $23.6 million. The Rev. Cecil Williams, co-founder of Glide and pastor since 1963 of the Glide Memorial United Methodist Church, said Buffett's involvement has attracted more interest in the charity, helping it fund its $17-million annual budget. Glide provides services including an estimated 750,000 free meals, 815,000 syringes, and day care and after school programs for 450 children each year. "This one was really one of the best we've had in my over 50 years," Williams, 86, said after the auction. The successful bidder and up to seven friends can dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steak house in Manhattan. All topics are fair game apart from where Buffett will invest next. Buffett, 85, is the world's third-richest person, worth $66.5 billion, Forbes magazine said. He got rich building Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N) into a conglomerate with roughly 90 businesses including insurance, energy, chemical, apparel and food companies, plus a railroad. Buffett is donating virtually all of his wealth to charity. The auction was created by Buffett's first wife, Susan, and continued after her death in 2004.

The financial services industry stands to reap the largest rewards from implementing blockchain technology because it has under-invested in back-office systems in recent years. Post-trade processing often relies on antiquated programming and technology, Ms. Masters said. Blockchain or distributed ledger technology can transform these back-office functions in the financial services industry, Ms. Masters said. “Any multi-party process where shared information is necessary to the completion of transactions and the coordination of activity and the exchange of value — that’s where blockchain technology can be put to good use,” Ms. Masters told attendees of The Wall Street Journal’s CFO Network in Washington D.C. “It’s one of the great opportunities, I think, in the financial services sector,” Ms. Masters said. “We’re talking about billions of dollars in annual savings for the banking industry.” But companies well beyond the scope of financial services also will benefit from this new technology, Ms. Masters said. Blockchain can help companies in all industries manage the movement of money in exchange for goods and services across multiple different parties in a secure, timely and coordinated way. Instituting a centralized, encrypted repository for such information can help companies make complicated transactions more efficiently, she explained. At the same time, blockchain allows companies to control who has access to which information, as well as keep these exchanges secure and protected. “The tools of encryption –which is all about security and protecting identity, protecting access to information– are very vital parts of this infrastructure,” Ms. Masters said.
