 Do you own an iPad, iPhone, or any other Apple product? If you do, how would you like to give Apple CEO Tim Cook a piece of your mind, over a nice hot cup of coffee? But whether you come to flatter 1 or flatten 2 Cook, that meeting will not come cheap.


 
That’s because the Apple head honcho is auctioning 3 off a lunch meeting with himself, and the bidding has already topped the $500,000 mark. Of course we don’t want to give you the impression that Cook really thinks his time is worth that much, as it is for a good cause, with the money going to charity.
 
So… how much would a meeting with Apple’s boss be worth to you? And if you could meet Tim Cook, what would you say to him?
