The Financial Times is auctioning off lunches with some of its editors and writers to raise money for charity, and it’s interesting to see the price that some of them are fetching.
Lunch with Gillian Tett, the managing editor of the U.S. edition of the business newspaper, has a current bid of $850. However, editor Lionel Barber‘s current bid is only $650. Martin Wolf, the paper’s chief economics columnist, is also currently at $850.
The current high bid is for the FT’s garden columnist, Robin Lane Fox. The current bid to have lunch with him is $2,000.
The bidding for lunch with Lucy Kellaway, the paper’s managing columnist, is at $1,050, while the bidding for lunch with Neil Hume, the editor of Alphaville, is at $1,100.
There is no bid currently for lunch with James Kynge, the editor of China Confidential.
Bidding ends Tuesday. Go here to place your wagers.
