Rich People Are Better Than You on Social Media, Too
For the longest time, the ultrarich had such limited social media choices, with Harvey Weinstein's lame "Myspace for Millionaires," ASmallWorld, being the most prominent option. Now, a veritable garden of exclusive social networks for the wealthy has bloomed, like the spring flowers at your Tuscan villa.
Take the London-based Family Bhive, which bills itself as "Facebook for the fortunate" and organizes meetings with former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf for its members, whom are ranked by net worth. From the New York Times:
"Jet" for those worth over £100 million, about 4 percent of members; "Jade" for the £20 million to £100 million club, or 13 percent of members; and "Amber" for those with £5 million to £20 million, representing over 80 percent.
Then there's Pi Capital, a "unique investor network" also based in England, and the U.S.-based Affluence.org, " private social network where wealthy individuals connect, share information and engage in meaningful conversations". All these places seem like great, safe place for rich people's money to meet other rich people's money, update their statuses ("BRB… gaining interest."), post pictures ("Me and my Friends in Fort Knox… SO WASTED!"), flirt ("I love your massive... assets"), and maybe eventually have little money babies if things work out.
