Affluence was founded in 2008 with the purpose of providing a platform where accomplished individuals could meet, socialize, create meaningful connections, and be surrounded by likeminded people. It is basically a social network for the rich, just like the name suggests. Even though membership is free, every new candidate needs to prove that they have a net worth of minimum $1 million, or an annual income of minimum $200,000.
Yes, that’s the gist of it. However, getting into further details makes things more interesting. This very special concept of a digital country club offers a bit more than the assurance that everyone you meet is an accomplished and well-heeled person. It also ensures that you get the chance to come in contact with other influential people, who may not be as rich as you are.
This means that if a certain number of Affluence members recommend a person whose income is lower than previously mentioned for being very successful and influential in other regards, the team behind the interface will consider the suggestions and make exception from their standard admission rule. So every time you visit Affluence.org you can be sure that you will enjoy the company of some really interesting people.
This is also an excellent platform for giving. According to likedin.com, the club is also very involved in charity actions. A special philanthropy section helps members make donations, watch cause-related videos, or RSVP to different fundraising events.
Affluence comes with various advantages for all its users, including a free print magazine (and a digital version as well) that can be received exclusively by members of the social network. A 24/7 concierge service is another perk, and so are the invitations to various events and parties for the “affluent”. So, if you feel that Facebook is no longer fulfilling all your upscale social needs, then Affluence might just be the right answer for you.
