( CNN ) -- Somebody really , really wants to get an audience with Apple CEO Tim Cook . An anonymous bidder paid $ 610,000 to chat over coffee with Apple 's chief executive , according to online-auction site Charity Buzz , which began accepting bids about three weeks ago . Tuesday 's winning bid came only several minutes before the auction closed at 4 pm ET . The auction site had valued the meeting with Cook at $ 50,000 . Proceeds from the auction will go to The RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights , an international nonprofit founded as a memorial to Robert F. Kennedy by his family and friends . The auction saw 86 bids , many of them from companies that do business ( or want to do business ) with Apple . The coffee chat will happen at Apple 's Cupertino , California , headquarters . The winner may bring along one guest . Travel and lodging for the visit , which will last between 30 minutes and an hour , are not covered . Visitors will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement and are subject to a security screening . Also , they ca n't liveblog or tweet during their meeting . The move fits in with the more open public persona Cook has adopted since replacing late Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs . In the past 18 months Cook has met with members of Congress on Capitol Hill and toured factories in China that make Apple products . By some measures , a $ 600,000 coffee meeting with the chief of the world 's leading tech company might be a bargain . An anonymous bidder paid $ 3.4 million last year for lunch with star investor Warren Buffett .
