Exclusive Exclusivity -- Non-American non-Royals need not apply. Apparently for people who think American Express' "Black Card" is not exclusive enough.

The events of 2008, from the posturing of the American presidential campaign to the current economic debacle made me think of how people value money and power, how people perceive it, and how people covet it. I was listening to a talk show where someone used the phrase "American Royalty" and decided to google it. I mean, the whole concept seems ripe for a dissertation thesis or two and I come up with this web site front and center. Do people gravitate to this because of the exclusivity? Because of the unparalleled and unlimited service? How many other services like this are out there? (I only knew of the Centurion Card). How will this face the economic downturn? Makes me curious.
