Being filthy rich probably isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Imagine how much trouble it is planning which beach to lounge at, which ultra-luxury vehicle you’re going to drive that day and any other ways you may need to display your wealth that day, lest those around you forget their place.
Résidence Supérieur – $280,000 annually
Consultant-turned-“Lifestyle Designer” Richard Nilsson’s Résidence Supérieur Black Card membership allows its holder to access to a host of services—including private jets, butlers, fleets of luxury cars, Michelin-class chefs and more—based in the Résidence Supérieur resorts. Each of their properties are owned or designed by Résidence Supérieur to ensure that members get only the best of the best.
Villa Oxygene, the original Résidence Supérieur property in Super Cannes, was designed by one of France’s most distinguished architects and includes four luxury bedrooms, a garden house and, of course, a decently large swimming pool. Other Résidence Supérieur properties include Necker Island—one of the British Virgin Islands—and The Lodge in the Verbier ski resort in the Swiss Alps.
Best of all, cardholders need only give six hours notice to access any of these properties. It may be one of the world’s most expensive club memberships but, hey, can you really put a price on “Extreme Luxury?”
Richman’s International Millionaire’s Club Charter Corporate Platinum Membership – around $507,000 per year
The Hong Kong-based RS Management Limited has stepped up to the plate with the appropriately named Richman’s IMC. While Richman’s IMC offers an Individual Silver membership for a mere $250,000, its Charter Corporate Platinum Membership is priced at $15.2 million for 30 years. Membership in this ultra-exclusive club affords access to a host of luxury services—from Richman’s mega yachts and yachthotels to VIP membership at Richman’s partner country clubs, golf clubs, gentlemen’s clubs, resort hotels, etc. Members can even own and race horses at the Royal Nanjing Jockey Club in Nanjing, China.
Members also have the peace of mind that comes with a confidential concierge and problem resolution service, personal bodyguards, 24-hour international emergency medical service and a $1 million credit line.
Oh, and they also have access to “personal companions.”
