NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Chinese fund manager has won a lunch with famed US investor Warren Buffett after bidding $2.11 million for the opportunity in a charity auction, more than three times what the lunch fetched last year.

Zhao Danyang, who runs Hong Kong-based Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund, had the winning bid in the eBay Inc auction that ended late on Friday.

Proceeds of the lunch with the 77-year-old chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc benefit Glide, a non-profit foundation in San Francisco that offers programmes for the poor, hungry and homeless.

Mohnish Pabrai, an Irvine, California-based investor, paid $650,100 for the right to dine with Buffett last year.
