A Hong Kong-based company is offering memberships in what is billed as the world's most expensive private club for $15.2 million apiece. Only 100 Charter Corporate Platinum Memberships in the Richman's IMC (International Millionaire's Club) will be available worldwide, good for 30 years. The whopping fee is justified by its being an an "all-access, first-class VIP pass" to megayachts, yacht clubs, jockey clubs, country clubs, golf courses, ski resorts, gentlemans clubs, supper clubs, luxury hotels and restaurants around the globe, eliminating the need for multiple memberships.

You also get the right to own and race horses at China's Royal Nanjing Jockey Club, where prizes run to the millions; confidential concierge and problem resolution services including 24-hour international emergency medical assistance; global executive travel assistance; personal bodyguards, travel guides and elite escorts worldwide; and the ability to charge expenses to an exclusive global biometrics-protected club card with a $1 million credit line. It all sounds incredibly ambitious considering there's an international recession on.

And wildly speculative. If American Express released something like this, I think it would be credible. But how does anyone know that the company will even last 30 years? One would be crazy to join. They must really be selling something else but using this as a gimmick to get attention. Or they're just criminals, a la Madoff.

I like the Richman's IMC much better as a really sketchy scam, than an actual gauche penis proxy.

Comments over the internet are cheap and everone knows them for what they really...sour grapes.

Plans for the club are real enough and if you give me your real name, I'll make sure you get an invitation to the official opening.
