Tim Cook is Auctioning a Coffee and Chat With Him at Apple HQ for Charity

According to a Charitybuzz release today, Apple CEO Tim Cook is holding charity auction (the listing says ‘donated by Tim Cook’) for coffee and a chat with him at the company’s headquarters.

The auction benefits the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights and just went live this morning, we were tipped to it by writer Kyle Gray and tech writer Andy Ihnatko.

The estimated worth is around $50,000 but the current bid while writing this already stands at $165,000. This is the first time that Cook has ever auctioned off one-on-one rights for charity. Charitybuzz says that the coffee meeting is expected to be anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour long.
