Is this guy for real? My wife works for Geneva Global, a company that matches wealthy individuals and thrid world needy projects. That kind of gift would do a HUGE amount of good. Instead, it will be eaten in a night. -

"Proceeds from the auction — which also featured five smaller truffles weighting 7.7 to 18.2 ounces sold to other Hong Kong bidders — will go to Mother's Choice, a Hong Kong charity that cares for pregnant girls and organizes adoptions, Hardt said."
It is for a good cause after all, not just a pricey meal.Comment
