Netropolitan, a social network for rich people is now online and you can become a member for the small price of $9,000. Dubbed the Facebook for the 1%, Netropolitan was created for wealthy folks with more money than time who are looking for a safe environment to talk about things that only rich people can understand.
On Tuesday, Netropolitan, the social network for rich people was launched without much fanfare.
Netropolitan.club was created by James Touchi-Peters, who revealed that while talking about certain things on normal social networking sites, other users would get upset, jealous or mock him and his friends.
The composer, performer and former conductor of the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra came up with the idea to have a very private club where rich people can share pictures of their vacation in Aspen or Bora Bora. Touchi-Peters told ABC News:
“I had to come to the conclusion that my life is different from most other people. Probably a lot of people, I think. We’re going to create the service and let the members decide what to do with it. We expect most of the activity will be on the discussion boards.”
A place where they can discus about the yacht they plan to buy and give tips on her to keep the champagne at a perfect temperature while on a private jet.
A safe haven where rich folks can complain about the truffle that was missing from their omelet and the fact that the leather in their 2015 Bentley Continental is all wrong.
So, how much does it cost to be part of the most exclusive club in the world?
Just like a real country club, about $9,000 for the first year and $3,000 for each following year.
Of course, the Netropolitan can afford to be ad-free and expect all contents, messages and photos shared between members to be well protected.
There will be professional moderators overseeing the site’s activity.
The exclusive online community is also a place of business where millionaires and billionaires can create special groups to find ways to get even richer.
The membership will be capped at 250,000, which is still quite a bit for an “exclusive” club. If all goes well, the enterprise could become a billion-dollar venture in couple of years.
