On May 5, a secret meeting was held in New York City apparently to discuss the global financial crisis. Those in attendance included Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller Jr., George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, and Oprah Winfrey.

No, really.

The source with the scoop was Irish Central (link), and ABC News verified that each of those listed attended the meeting (link):

"The overwhelming reason for the meeting was need -- that was the issue that galvanized everyone to participate," Patricia Stonesifer, senior advisor to the Gates foundation's trustees, Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett, told ABCNews.com. "This was a group very committed to philanthropy coming together to see how they can join together to do more."
