Things Only Wealthy People Know Exist

There's Another Level

There are a million things that money can buy—and a lot of them are things that most people don't even realize are an option. Here's a glimpse into the secret world that only the richest of the rich have access to.

The Titanium Amex

The Black Amex card is something of a legend, but it's even crazier than people realize. Called the Centurion Card, it costs $10,000 to sign up, and another $10,000 annually. What's that get you?

Not only is it made of titanium, it gives you access to the Centurion concierge who can, and I'm not exaggerating, arrange to get you anything money can buy.

The REAL Smart Home

They're the billion-dollar Smart Home company that's been outfitting billionaires' homes for years.

Books By The Foot

Say you're wealthy and you want to put a library in your house. It could take a really long time to find enough books to fill your shelves—but luckily, there are wholesalers who will sell you books by the linear foot. The books are specified by size, color, and material to allow you to design the perfect look.
