Apple’s new spaceship campus is scheduled to be completed late next year, but before 12,000 employees take over the new mothership, you can take a guided tour of Apple’s current headquarters, if you’ve got enough funds.
A new CharityBuzz auction was created by Apple today that offers bidders an exclusive tour of Apple HQ with the company’s VP of Education, John Couch as your tour guide.
The current highest bid is at $5,000, however the site is projecting an estimated value of $50,000. Tim Cook has hosted a number of Charitybuzz auctions over the past few years with some wealthy fans paying over $600,000 just to sit down for coffee with the Apple CEO.
John Couch isn’t as high profile an executive as Tim Cook, Jeff Williams, or Eddy Cue, but he’s been around Apple since 1978 when Steve Jobs asked Couch to join the company as the Director of New Products. Couch oversaw the development of the Lisa before he turned his focus on education in 1985.
The lot auction detail don’t mention how long or extensive the Apple HQ tour will be, but for $50,000 I’d expect them to at least throw in a look at an early iPhone 7 prototype, followed by a spin around campus in the upcoming iCar.
