Sun explains what the Buffett lunch meant to him
In a video that lasts approximately five minutes, Justin Sun reveals what an invaluable experience it was for him to meet legendary investor Buffett over lunch in early 2020, after Sun won that opportunity by donating $4.56 million to the charity directed by Buffett’s wife in 2019. The lunch took place just a year later.
According to him, the main effect this extraordinary event had on Sun was that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet a renowned investor and discuss his ideas with Buffett. Since Buffett’s right-hand man, Charlie Munger, passed away in November last year, Sun fears that the lunch with Buffett will be impossible to repeat, although he hopes Buffett will live many more years from now, even though his health is poor. at the time.
Sun was allowed to bring several friends, so he invited Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, eToro CEO Yoni Assia, Huobi CFO Chris Lee, and CZ, who headed Binance at the time. However, CZ declined the offer, citing other urgent things to do, and sent Binance Charity Foundation director Helen Hai instead of himself.
