The 25-year-old Thirtyacre, who has amassed a
fortune on his puppet show skits based on the Super Mario
Brothers arcade game, told TMZ he had been willing to pay up to
$2 million for the chance to dine with his idol.
"I just can't wait to hang out with him," Thirtyacre, who goes
by the online alias SuperMarioLogan, told the celebrity tabloid
website.
The 'All In Challenge' won by Thirtyacre includes tickets to
Brady's first game with his new team in Tampa Bay, his first
game-worn jersey and cleats, as well as the dinner.
Thirtyacre has a room adorned with Brady memorabilia and was in
the stands when the future Hall of Famer led the New England
Patriots to Super Bowl victories in 2017 and 2019.
Money raised by the auction goes to providing food for people
struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
