Kew works at Apple for about 28 years and played a key role in creating iTunes. In September 2011, the current head of the corporation Tim Cook appointed Eddie Cue senior vice president of Internet development and services. Previously, he headed the main projects of Apple and retained responsibility for their work, and also engaged in the management of cloud services iCloud.
The minimum bid for dinner at Eddie Cue is $ 50,000. At the moment, the highest bid for the opportunity to talk with an Apple representative is $ 5000. In the conditions it is stipulated that one person not younger than 18 can come to the meeting. The meeting does not provide for a photo shoot and a full tour of the headquarters.
Apple's top managers are not the first time such an event. In May of this year for lunch with Tim Cook paid a record $ 700,000. And such a meeting was held for the fifth time. In 2013, for a private dinner with the head of Apple paid $ 610,000, in 2014 - $ 330,000, and in 2015 - $ 200,000.
Who will win the battle for a meeting with Eddie Cue, can only guess. But the vice-president promises to invite the winner to Apple Park and spend at least an hour of his time, which in itself is not cheap.
