Email Address For The Wealthy Sets One Back $7,500 Just To Sign Up [Email Address Service Available To Only 750 Members Worldwide Costs Arm, Leg, & First Born]

Here’s one for the books – an email service marketing itself as “The World’s Most Exclusive E-Mail Address” would set you back a whopping $7,500 just to sign up. But it doesn’t end there – you’d also have to pay a monthly membership fee of $750. Yes, you’d have to pony up that much moolah just so you can be one of its 750 members around the globe.

We hate to break it to our more opulent readers here in TFTS, though – membership applications are closed for the moment. And if you’re from any of the countries listed below, we’re afraid your buddies from the local country club were way ahead of you. Why don’t you try out its sister site instead? Elite5000, the “E-mail address for the business elite,” costs significantly lower — $225 to sign up and $75 per month to maintain. Probably because it’s available to 5,000 members.

Sadly, neither site provides a tour of their email services. But from what’s listed on Elite750′s Services section, it doesn’t seem any different from the usual email address service aside from providing an “emergency hotline” and a member area (or virtual rich people’s lounge, if you insist). Unfortunately, we don’t have seven and a half grand lying around so we can take a tour of the service for you. But at that price point, all we can say is that they better be providing their members with a dedicated virtual butler.
