Bids have started rolling in for the chance to eat alongside billionaire investor Bill Ackman, an annual charity auction that emulates Warren Buffett’s popular philanthropic lunch.

So far, more than a dozen bids have been received to dine with the chief executive officer of Pershing Square Capital Management, and the price had risen to $25,500 as of 10:22 a.m. Thursday in New York. The auction, which started Dec. 6 at $15,000, closes on Monday. The winning bidder can invite a guest, but the location of the lunch has not yet been determined.
