Sincere Millionaires Only: Please Apply!
Remember what I wrote just a few days ago in “Internet Dating or a Matchmaker?” about the Millionaire’s Club, a site that charges men between $10,000 and $150,000 for introductions to women? Here’s another one: the 4M Club (the four M’s are Multi Millionaire Match Making). The 4M site is super slick and flashy, worth a peek if you have time for the downloads.
The Seattle-based founder Chris Stelmack says she will accept non-millionaires, though the guy’s income needs to be at least six figures. Non-millionaires have to pay the same fees as millionaires, though—no sliding fees. Currently, Stelmack says, all her men are real millionaires. Reassuringly, Stemack says she sreens out players and gold diggers: only the serious need apply.
The business model of the 4M Club is slightly different that the Millionaire’s Club: Stelmack charges men from $10,000 to $250,000, and the women are charged $250 “if accepted after photo approval and a lengthy phone interview.” I’ll bet not too many men OR women are turned down. Just a hundred women signing up would be worth $25,000! The Millionaire’s Club owner said she had 25,000 on file! On the website, Stelmack recorded voice enticingly states that she only accepts 5 men a month. Five at the bargain rate of $10,000? $50,000 smackaroos! Get in line, guys! Time’s a-wasting!
I’m in the wrong branch of the business, for sure. But at least what I do doesn’t make my skin crawl.
From Kathryn Lord, Your Romance Coach

Kathryn, this is the owner of 4M Club speaking…please note there is an error in your blog concerning our women clientele…we don’t have 25,000 women on file…but 250 to 300, yes!
While it is a national service, by design it’s considered a small, boutique club…that’s why we’ve had a few marriages and engagements so far…our members receive highly personalized service!
Please make necessary correction, if possible. Thank you very much.
