First there was a Craigslist for the rich and now, the one percent have their own social network. It’s called Netropolitan and membership is open to most anyone – so long as you can foot the $9,000 registration fee and the $3,000 annual dues.

The service, similar to Facebook, was created by James Touchi-Peters, an orchestra conductor and composer that had trouble finding an online community where he could mingle with like-minded people. He said he often felt uncomfortable discussing or sharing certain topics on public social networks as it could have been seen by others as bragging.

Touchi-Peters said the high cost of admission is one way the site vets members.

Members will enjoy an ad-free, encrypted experience that is continually monitored by professional moderators to ensure a pleasant and courteous environment. Furthermore, the site won’t be indexed by search engines.

Netropolitan does have some restrictions that are worth pointing out. Members must be 21 or older to join and are required to use their real names. That said, members aren’t allowed to disclose the names of other members to non-members although I’m not sure how they’d go about policing this.

The “exclusive online country club” began accepting memberships today so don’t expect to find your other affluent buddies posting images of their opulent lifestyle just yet. That’s alright, however, as the founder believes most will join with the goal of meeting new people.

I thought I might be that one percent, seeing as I don't currently use any social media (other than forums and game chat). Then I read "$9000" and come to the harsh reality, I'm not even in the one percent.

Not just that but someone that earns 200k a year can EASILY foot this bill.. its for the 50% not one percent... Plus the site looks like it was made from a $50 template and the logo... did the guy make that in word?

This site looks extremely unprofessional, even the FAQ makes you laugh. Good business stratergy make a poor site with poor language & rules with a high fee then act like its meant for the 1%...

I'm thinking kicksrarter or similar crowd funding tool to create accounts and monitor what the 1% are up to.
Remember, if you have a lot of people sharing, the costs are greatly defrayed.
 
Social network, ahem...

That first picture looks like your cheap porno intro :)

Then they start socializing... :)
