Man Bids $35,000 to Get Inside Bill Gates' House.

How much would you pay to see the inside of Bill Gates" home? Founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, is a very charitable man. TechFlash reports that each year the company Gates founded runs a charitable giving campaign. Part of this campaign sees the staff donate products, services and experiences for their fellow employees to bid on during a charity auction. Every year, Bill offers a tour of his Lake Washington home -- and this year the winning bid was astonishingly high. Last year the tour of Bill"s pad went for $8,500. Given that Microsoft matches all the donations, that"s a very generous $17,000 for charity. However, bidding this year went well over $17,000. The winning employee bid $35,000, bagging himself a tour with Bill Gates as his guide and appetizers afterward. TechFlash reports that other items up for auction include the "world"s best bologna sandwich," which went for $500, double what it sold for last year.
