The instrument was specially made for Buffett by Dairy Queen, a longtime economic and gastronomic favorite of the billionaire investor. The instrument has been personally played, and signed by Buffett who is widely regarded as the most successful value investor of all time.

The proceeds from the auction are going to the Omaha Children's Hospital, part of the Children's Miracle Network which is dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children's hospitals across North America.

"This was a great opportunity to help out a worthy charity and get some marketing exposure at the same time," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "Over the years we have developed a knack for recognizing a great advertising investment when we see it. Mr. Buffett is an American icon, and we are honored to own this item as well as contribute to the Children's Miracle Network."

Setting the standard in marketing creativity, GoldenPalace.com has devised some of the most exciting and outrageous advertising campaigns in the past few years. Items such as the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Britney Spears' Pregnancy Test, and William Shatner's Kidney Stone have garnered extensive worldwide media attention for the casino.

GoldenPalace.com has also used their items and marketing reach to raise awareness and over $1,000,000 for various charities worldwide.
