Giant Truffle
Macau casino mogul bids record $330,000 for giant white truffle at auction
Dec 1, 2:48 PM By The Associated Press FLORENCE, Italy - A Macau casino mogul bid a record $330,00 at auction today for a giant white truffle dug up in Tuscany. Billionaire Stanley Ho made the winning bid for the 1.497 kilogram truffle during an auction staged simultaneously in Florence, London and at Ho's Grand Lisboa hotel in Macau. Auction organizer Giselle Oberti says the price bested the previous record for a truffle of $212,000. The unusually heavy truffle was dug up last week by truffle hunter Cristiano Savini, his father Luciano and dog Rocco in Palaia, a town about 40 kilometres from Pisa. Guinness World Records lists a 1.3-kilogram white truffle found in Croatia in 1999 as the biggest. Truffles can fetch $11,155 a kilogram in Rome, though they usually weigh from 30 to 80 grams each
