Happy Monday Zingernation! One rule in life that I adhere vehemently to is never to turn down free food. But, like my college economics professor taught me, there’s no such thing as a free lunch when you factor in the opportunity cost of what you could have been doing with that time. So, some lunch dates are more valuable than others. And we asked Benzinga readers which business leaders they would most want to grub down with, with Warren Buffett coming in second to this tech billionaire.
