No, just having $3 million in the bank, doesn't cut it. Ya gotta have friends with $3 million, lots-n-lotsa friends. Like Friendster friends, like Facebook friends. Even with this horrendous misspelling:
Make Life Better The exclusive oragnaization of the world's wealthiest people.
Ever hear about Clear Blue Interactive, one of those shadowy, we-control-the-world telecoms? In late September, it morphed into Affluence.org, a social networking site for the wealthy. There's a world of expensive fun out there: a concierge to set up your parties at exclusive restaurants, "other millionaires, billionaires, and socially elite people to network with," and did we mention the exclusive parties? How do we know this? Our down-the-hall neighbor emailed us an invite. Dude, you've seen where we live; we wouldn't hang out here if we had $3 million. (We've seen where you live, and it doesn't look like you do, either.) Still, what a brilliant way to harvest information for and about rich people.
We ran this post yesterday on Seattlest.com; they've since fixed the typo.
