Personally, I was a lot more envious before I saw the website. It looks like a fairly standard Great Lakes resort and some of the lodgings & restaurant look downright laughable if you’re expecting posh luxury or something. I suppose the beauty is in its isolation and not its accomodations.
Seems to me that in the framework that the OP tries to weave, such a website would be laughable to folks with real money. The last thing they want to do (in my imagination, anyway) is to be associated with anything so plebian as a website touting a place they visit once in a while. Puleeeaaase. This is a place that’s clearly for the B level boys. Website. Hmph.
Isn’t the US Senate the traditional answer to this question?
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it: Superyacht - Wikipedia
I think someone must be pulling someone’s leg re the Rattlesnake Club on wikipedia. If you go their website, then Services > Lodging/Dockage, you can see on the sidebar on the right,
Touche
The U.S. Senate is not a product nor a service. But a massage at the senate ladies spa,now that’s exclusive.
There’s a christmas catalog that comes out every year, and has affordable stuff as well as one Absolutely Totally Out of Control item. The one that stands out in my mind is a clawfoot bathtub full of diamonds. I forget the price tag, but as they say, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
That is a good example in a few ways. John Travolta is dedicated to aviation and pilots his own actual airliner. Not only is that ridiculously expensive, it also takes some serious skills and responsibility to be allowed to do it at all especially for decades. I have always heard is a very good and serious pilot which he must be to keep up his license. There aren’t very many people that have the means and dedication to keep up an Air Transport Pilot certificate on their own to fly a personal airliner.
Bill Gates could turn over his entire fortune to the U.S. government and would still not be allowed to do that without many years of training and it could still fail if he has health problems. There are a few other famous people like Harrison Ford that are good helicopter pilots but, being able to fly your own airliner is about as exclusive as it gets.
This is probably not what the OP intended, but as it turns out, the aforementioned Bill Gates could no doubt get an audience with any Senator he wanted if he so chose. In fact, I imagine that it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to arrange a conversation with the Prez most of the time. It’s not just because of his $, of course, but he is one of the most wealthy of folks, and that might open a couple of doors.
Yeah, but as Mel Gibson learned, he’ll take you for a flight and then ask you to help him move. :smack:
The (ex-US)presidents club?
Presumably, the protection and assorted other services (living/office expenses, etc) provided to you would qualify as goods/services rendered.
Well, that’s not all THAT special. I’m just a constituent and I sat in the House Minority Whip’s chair a couple months ago. I suppose if he’d been in town I could have sat in his lap. 
I mean, our Congresscritters are our employees.
Made-to-order breakfast in the Oval Office?
Not many people own those super big yachts, the ones that cost $50 mil and up. Tiger Woods has one, he spent part of his honeymoon on it.
Well it is obviously membership of Club Veblen, a club so exclusive that it still has no members.
It sounds like a real-life MPSIMS thread–Who wants to chill with me on our very own island? As a practical matter, you have to be able to pay your share; aside from that, a few members need to vouch that you won’t be a jerk. Facilities? We’ll need servants and a half-decent restaurant; after all, we’re not wilderness camping. Guin wants to soak in a hot tub? Let’s get a hot tub. Polycarp and Qadgop are golfers? Golf course, too. Wall-to-wall carpetting made out of passenger pigeon feathers? What for? We’re dopers! What else do we have to prove?
Besides, if were really posh, I’d expect security to be handled by genetically engineered, sentient rattlesnakes.
There’s a huge difference between congresspeople and senators, and they’re both our employees. For that matter, so is the President. Reps individually represent a small number of people and interests, relatively, and senators represent the whole state between the two of them. Reps have to run every two years, and please everyone in their districts to get sent back. Senators, not so much, and every six years, at that. And, it may very well be that if your congressbeing had been in town, that office would have been occupied with a different class of visitor. Those hundred guys and gal have a very exclusive job and see very exclusive folks, usually. Certainly, constituents don’t have the same ability to call a meeting with them as the Bill Gates’s of the world.
Well, except in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.
There, there are two senators and only one representative-and so, 1) all three are elected by the state as a whole, so there’s no difference in constituencies, and 2) it’s (presumably) harder to get a meeting with the representative than with one of the two senators.
True enough, and yet, I’m trying to imagine a situation in which Bill Gates wishes to have a meeting with the esteemed representative from Wyoming. Maybe wangling a hunting date with Cheney?
