The Netropolitan Club network: ‘Facebook’ for the rich
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:39
Do you have a cool $9000 to spend and then another $3000 to burn every year? Do you often ask yourself, why would I do it for free when I can pay for it? Then Netropolitan is for you!
Say hello to The Netropolitan Club – the ‘rich’ social media platform equivalent of Facebook.
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.
With unlimited cloud storage, being advertising free, having more rules (such as it is mandatory to use 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.
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 activities will also be private, so it is not indexed by search engines, and moderators are actively on the lookout for misuse, abuse and trolling.
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, but outside their social circle.”
So by paying this (exorbitant) fee, busy millionaires can at last share their thoughts in private about yachts, champagne, lucrative business decisions and so on, without any judgement.
