Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, handed his wallet to the younger Zhao and then whispered a stock tip after completing a series of television interviews. Buffett's power lunch is traditionally held at the high-end New York steakhouse, Smith & Wollensky. The restaurant donates $10,000 to the charity Glide for the pleasure of hosting the event annually.
