Netropolitan Club is a social network created by composer and performer James Touchi-Peters, launched September 15, 2014, and designed for use exclusively by wealthy people. The website has a sign-up fee of $9000 (US dollars) and an annual fee of $3000 for renewing one's membership.

Distinguishing features
Touchi-Peters founded Netropolitan Club so that wealthy people could have a place to to network with other wealthy people, and share their activities as well as discuss their first world problems without alienating poorer people or engendering a backlash. With this goal in mind, the Netropolitan Club has the following distinguishing features:


 * High membership fees ($9000 to join, $3000 to renew annually), that serve to automatically filter out people who are not wealthy.
 * Members are required to be over 21 and to use their real names.
 * There is no third-party advertising. Members may post in the upcoming Classified Ads system, but are not allowed to solicit from other members in private messages.
 * The entire club is inaccessible to the public Internet. Efforts are made to enhance privacy and security, and names of members are not revealed to the outside world.
 * Activity is monitored to protect members from abuse or unpleasant situations, and there are Member Services Associates available online to help members at any time.
