Social Networking for Millionaires

I suppose we all knew it would come to this. There are social networks for students, executives, pet owners, surfers, grandma's and now the Millionaire/Billionaire types. aSmallWorld is of course by invitation only. The hoity toity like to keep the common fold out of their cliques.

Although us commoners can only guess at what may be behind the curtain, it begs the question. If you are a billionaire, do you really a website to help you network? Apparently Harvey and Bob Weinstein (Miramax Films) think so as they made a minority investment. Various analytics sites report only around 600 visits a day to the site. Wikipedia has some overview information but, nothing too exciting; rules to keep unwanted people out, anti-harassment, etc. The biggest draw seems to be the classified ads. I can see them now.

     Mansion on the Riveria priced to move - 75 million
     Gently used Yacht, single owner - 35 million
     Used Volvo, 30,000 miles - free to deserving person


Ah, if I could only get in, that Volvo would be mine. Reports are you can buy a membership on eBay, but I was unable to locate any. Anyway, I'm sure if the found out you would quickly be ousted. We'll I guess I'll have to stay with Facebook and Linkedin for now.

Anyone have millionaire making stock tips?
