Scottish Golf Club to Require $160 Million Net Worth
A new golf club and resort being planned for Highland Perthshire in Scotland will require prospective members to prove a net worth of at least £100 million, or $160 million, in order to gain entry. Developer Malcolm James has submitted plans to transform the Dall Estate (above) into a $2 billion ultra-luxe golf resort with membership fees of $3 million. The resort will feature a luxury 104-suite hotel with health spa, leisure and retail facilities, a concert hall and two 18-hole golf courses designed by Calum Todd. There are also plans for luxurious mansions to be built on the property with starting prices of £100 million. James says those who do make it as members will also enjoy Fort Knox-style security and world-class cuisine.

Either they don't read the same financial information as the rest of us or they know something we don't, but I'm pretty sure Tiger Woods has the cash to cover this. (You have to read the article to know what I'm referring to)

The story stats that you must have a net worth of $100mm. It also states that homes will be starting at $100mm. Is that home price correct?

That's correct according to the original newspaper article:

I think this is a bit extreme and I don't think it'll work out given the number of people above $160mi willing to play golf in scotland. Also in my opinion usd$20-$30mi net worth is enough to prove you are a very successful person.
