User:Vipul/Netropolitan Club

Netropolitan Club is a social network created by composer and performer James Touchi-Peters, launched September 15, 2014, and designed for use exclusively by wealthy people.[1] The website has a sign-up fee of $9000 (US dollars) and an annual fee of $3000 for renewing one's membership.[2]

Distinguishing features

Touchi-Peters founded Netropolitan Club so that wealthy people could have a place to to network with other wealthy people, and share their activities as well as discuss their first world problems without alienating poorer people or engendering a backlash.[2] With this goal in mind, the Netropolitan Club has the following distinguishing features:[3]

  • High membership fees ($9000 to join, $3000 to renew annually), that serve to automatically filter out people who are not wealthy.
  • Members are required to be over 21 and to use their real names.
  • There is no third-party advertising. Members may post in the upcoming Classified Ads system, but are not allowed to solicit from other members in private messages.
  • The entire club is inaccessible to the public Internet. Efforts are made to enhance privacy and security, and names of members are not revealed to the outside world.
  • Activity is monitored to protect members from abuse or unpleasant situations, and there are Member Services Associates available online to help members at any time.

Media coverage

Netropolitan Club has been covered in International Business Times,[1] the Los Angeles Times,[2] the Express Tribune,[4] NPR,[5] Inc.,[6] and the Huffington Post.[7]
