The Standard Group Plc is a

Netropolitan is a new social network that wants to differentiate itself from the riffraff on Facebook by charging a mind-boggling $9,000 (£5,500) to join.
Describing itself as the "online country club for people with more money than time" (or, perhaps, more money than sense), Netropolitan wants to provide "affluent and accomplished" individuals with a way of socialising online that is "completely private and secure".
