Bob Smith is hooked. He spends 10 hours a week online messaging his pals, shooting e-mails to new acquaintances and popping off about a variety of topics.

It makes him feel like a teenager ? not a successful 57-year-old business executive. "I'm having a ball," he said.

Smith's Web site of choice, Affluence.org, is free, but don't fire up that computer just yet.

It's a tad exclusive.

Membership requires a verified net worth of at least $3 million or an annual household income of $300,000. If you don't qualify, there is one other way to join: convince at least five wealthy folks to vouch for you.

"It's Facebook for the filthy rich," said Palm Harbor's Scott Mitchell, the site's founder, president and chief executive officer.

Launched in September, Affluence.org reports more than 20,000 members (apparently, the economic downturn hasn't hit the yacht club scene just yet).

I'd like to see that website go down. Filthy rich bastards! :LOL:
 
god damnit Rupert Murdoch! How many times do I have you tell you I'm not interested in...what is this? Giving you a spank? Ugh! Stupid add-ons!
 
It's amazing during a financial recession luxuries are the first assets to go; yet people will happily run up their electrical bills on a useless site. Hypocrisy anyone?
 
Just because I unload a few shells into some Soviets; I am a bad person?
 
Wow you admit to knowing him. Dose that mean your the ass that invited him here

well now we know where all the hackers will head to. They'll drop Facebook and Myspace for this Affluence.org and try to swindle people into bribes because i'm sure as hell someone posts things that shouldn't be on there legally.
