Reba McEntire: $900,000 for Lunch with Country Superstar

I always liked Reba McEntire , but get this: on Saturday night in Phoenix, at the Muhammad Ali Celebrity Fight Night concert and dinner, three bidders spent a total of $900,000 to have dinner with her. The winners were Bill Austin , of the Starkey Hearing Foundation; Bob Parsons , of GoDaddy; and self made philanthropist Walter Scott , one of Warren Buffet’s childhood buddies. Each spent $300,000 to have a meal with Reba, and presumably, her husband and manager Narvell Blackstock.
