Marc Benioff's Charity Auction Raises $1.5 Million for Homeless Services

The inaugural auction without Warren Buffett sees a significant donation to Glide Foundation despite lower initial bids.

The weeklong eBay auction concluded with a $200,100 winning bid, supplemented by an additional $1.3 million donation.
Proceeds from the auction will support Glide's comprehensive services for the homeless in San Francisco.
This marks the first year Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff headlined the charity event, following Buffett's retirement.
Warren Buffett previously raised $53 million for Glide through similar auctions over two decades.
The auction's total contribution represents a fraction of Glide's $31 million annual operating budget.
