Back when apps were fresh and cool and edgy , someone made an iPhone app that did quite literally nothing but leaven that you ’re a baller . Now that social networks are novel and coolheaded and restive ( or they used to be ) , someone ’s made the same concept : a Facebook country club , if you will .
Netropolitan bills itself as “ the on-line country club for multitude with more money than time ” , and fundamentally , it seems to be like Facebook , but you have to bear $ 9,000 ( $ 6,000 ‘ initiation fee ’ and $ 3,000 one-year membership ) to join it . Despite call in itself a land club , it does n’t offer any of the distinctive land club amenities you might bear when you ’re forking over three grand , like towels or porter or pond facilities . Or even a putting putting surface .
Sceptical ? Well , Netropolitan has said that at launch , it already had “ several hundred ” beta examiner actual drug user onboard ; though in continue with their ‘ unbreakable ’ privacy policy , they wo n’t say if there ’s any celebrity in the ranks — the only way to regain out is to link up up . Anyone aim some spare immediate payment ? [ NetropolitanviaCNN ]
