NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- An anonymous bidder is paying a record $3,456,789 to have lunch with legendary investor Warren Buffett, according to the charity that benefits from the auction.

Glide, the San Francisco Bay anti-poverty organization, said there were 10 active bidders among the more than 110 inquires into the auction on eBay. The auction began Sunday and closed at 10:30 p.m. ET Friday.

"We are shouting, dancing, rejoicing and celebrating. It's quite an experience," said Glide founder, the Rev. Cecil Williams, in a statement. "We have made history, thanks to Warren Buffett."

Over the last decade, Buffett has raised more than $11.5 million for the organization, not counting the 2012 auction.
