Michael Sandel, a philosophy professor at Harvard University, once said, "There are some things that money can't buy, but there are not many such things now." ”
How much energy money this thing has, everyone has a number in mind. Sometimes I often wonder, what is there that money can't buy?
"The world's most mysterious club" may be the right answer. The following seven places, just have money, you really can't get in...
Bohemian club
The well-known bohemian club of the United States, located in San Francisco, usa, has existed mysteriously and debauchedly for nearly 150 years from 1872 to the present.
As the world's most unique "male happiness house", it naturally only accepts men. As for the members, including former U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan, Eisenhower, Nixon, and countless Republican politicians and business celebrities with heads and faces, about 2,700 members, all of them are either rich or expensive.
However, these "decent people" got together and did something a little difficult to say.
According to some people, some people pee directly on the trees at the "summer camp", from which you can see the extent of the madness.
By the way, although the members unanimously said that they were just playing and never talked about work, the legendary famous "Manhattan Project" was inextricably linked to the club.
Several members gathered to make small talk and decided to study the atomic bomb, but the result was actually made and thrown to Japan, which directly affected the situation of World War II.
How much is the membership fee for a club that is enough to affect the international situation?
Not expensive, ten thousand dollars a year annual fee is enough.
But then again, what members are missing is the ten thousand dollars? Is the club short of that ten thousand dollars?
At this time, saying "it is not a matter of money", I think everyone agrees.
Club Belize
Men have happy houses, but what about women?
Sex transformation bohemian club - Belize club, find out.
Although not as old as the previous one, the club's pressing is not low at all — its members have held annual meetings once a year since its founding in 2001, and on its tenth anniversary, in 2011, the New York Times called the Club Belize members "business and political forerunners."
So what are the identities of these "prescient" women?
Directors of large corporations such as Xerox, Procter & Gamble, Nordstrom, PetSmart and REI, as well as the Episcopal Bishops, and even U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
No wonder some media outlets say the club is plotting the "White House plan" to get women into the White House.
I wonder if the current vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, has a Membership Card for clubs in Belize?
Bilderberg Club
The Bilderberg Club, also known as the Bilderberg Group, was founded in 1954.
According to the club's official account, its annual closed-door summit (which lasts three days) is a forum for "harmlessness" and "discussion of global trends and major issues", but no one believes it at all.
Some people even wrote a book to express disbelief.
More than a hundred industry leaders from Europe and the United States gathered for a three-day meeting, and it is difficult not to be blind – some people say that they are plotting to build an international "world government" and build a "new order"... In layman's terms, there is no good fart.
I wouldn't have believed it.
But then I learned that a politician had secretly poked and prodded into the Bilderberg Club but did not admit it, and my previous disbelief immediately turned to belief.
After all, there are no good words for people behind them, and good words do not have back people, dear.
By the way, it is said that the establishment of the European Union was the result of the discussions of the members of the club. Well, that's enough.
Augusta National Golf Club
Augusta National Golf Club is very different from the above several. The above clubs are more or less organized to make things, and this Augusta, as the name suggests, is born to play golf.
Since the creation of the club in 1933 by the famous golf star Bobby Jones in the United States, it has been one of the top golf clubs in the world.
However, in the past few years, it has often been on the hot search, not because of its high specifications, nor because of the Us-national Masters it hosted, but because of its extreme exclusivity.
Before 1990, it did not admit any black members; until 2012, it did not admit any female members.
That's 2012, sexism? What do you think!
However, scandals of racial discrimination and sexism have not affected its position in the circle in the slightest.
It is said that business tycoons of Gates and Buffett's level have to queue up normally if they want to go in and play a ball.
It is also said that the club strictly implements the "acquaintance introduction" system, that is to say, no one guarantees, and there is no way to enter.
There is X point cool inner taste ha?
Alfalfa Club
Another American elite club, also known as the Alfalfa Grass Club, has less information than the above. Sister Long checked for half a day, and could only determine that it would hold an annual meeting every year, and the people who participated in it were still those four words, either rich or expensive.
For example, 7 years ago, some crooked fruit people protested against the Alfalfa Club in a fairly traditional way.
You don't have to bother to search, I have seen it for you, and the pictures are hung
For example, last year, there was such a news:
Understand the king: the title is very well written, don't write it next time
There are a lot of pictures of important people in it, and if we look at them one by one, we will find that some people are wearing strange "badges".
Not everyone has it
So the question is, Bezos set up a banquet, what do these big guys do with a card? It's not always a meal card, right?
No, no.
Although the lanyard in red, white and blue does not match the suit style of the big guys, there is no harm in wearing it - it is the symbol of the members of the Alfalfa Club, and wearing it means that you are your own person.
Trilateral Commission
The Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller, was actually a club-like organization, despite its name.
Which three sides are the three sides?
North America, Western Europe, Asia Pacific.
Who are the club members?
Well-known politicians, diplomats, nuclear weapons research experts...
Still no concept?
I don't know if you remember the "nipple strategy" written by Sister Long? (Looking back at poking here→ the "nipple strategy" exposed by the Zhao W incident is indeed insidious!) Zbignev Brzezinski, the proposer of the nipple strategy, was the first director of the Trilateral Commission.
With such a leader, what kind of color do the rest of the members have to be?
It must be "everyone in it is talented, and it is good to talk"!
Yellowstone Club
Compared to the above, the Yellowstone Club is probably the most like a normal club...
First of all, the location - in the picturesque Yellowstone Park, people have built a paradise-like cottage, especially suitable for leisure and relaxation;
Secondly, the high-end consumption - 400,000 US dollars knife entrance fee, 50,000 US dollars annual fee, buying a house needs tens of millions of US dollars, and Land (farm) needs to double (I am talking about almost the lowest price);
Again, restricting identity — there is a big difference between rich and rich, and the Yellowstone Club said it welcomed Bill Gates and declined Hollywood stars;
Finally, there is no annual convention - the rich are usually busy to death, and now in the Yellowstone Club, it is equivalent to hiding in the mountains, just want to ski and play golf, who wants to talk about work? If you want to talk about business, go out and turn left to other clubs to welcome you!
Finally, Sister Long added that the above clubs are almost like the extracurricular cram classes before our double subtraction, which is limited in "pit position", and the old members withdraw or die, and new applicants can be approved to become full members. Considering the gold content of these clubs, it is not easy to enter and do not want to go out, so most of the membership is really like the throne, and it must be inherited after death. This is the real thing that money can't buy...
