Say hello to The Netropolitan Club<\/strong> - the 'rich' social media platform<\/a>\u00a0equivalent\u00a0of Facebook.<\/p>

Almost identical to the latter in terms of function, Netropolitan, however has a different set of rules where not everyone can be a member or set up an account.<\/p>

With unlimited cloud storage, being\u00a0advertising free, having\u00a0more rules (such as\u00a0it is mandatory to\u00a0use your real name) and an age restriction (you can't become a member if you are under 21 years old) - the network pitches itself as a more exclusive alternative to Facebook.<\/p>

But here is the major difference: it will cost you $9000 to join and another $3000 to pay annually just for the privilege of being a member. The network's\u00a0activities will also be private, so it is not indexed by search engines, and moderators are actively on the lookout for misuse, abuse and trolling.<\/p>

James Touchi-Peters, a former conductor of the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra and founder of this exclusive virtual 'country club' wanted to create an exclusive place where like-minded people could communicate. He explains, \"Some busy millionaires feel isolated. Netropolitan Club is a place for them to interact with people within their social status<\/a>, but outside their social circle.\"<\/em><\/p>

So by paying this (exorbitant) fee, busy millionaires can at last share their thoughts in private about yachts, champagne<\/a>, lucrative business decisions and so on, without any judgement.<\/p>

Are you at all interested in this social network? You can download it here <\/a>for the desktop, Smartphone and tablets.<\/p>
