Following her American patriots tweet, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner need not apply to the upscale Indian Creek Country Club near their $30 million plot of land on the exclusive Florida island nicknamed The Billionaires Bunker.
The island community one of the wealthiest in the US has just 29 residences, and residents include Julio Iglesias, Carl Icahn, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen but owning a home there doesnt mean you get automatic membership in the country club.
A local source sniped, You have to be nominated and make a formal application. But it only takes one member to object against any new member, and many members are objecting, particularly after the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Jared and Ivanka can lunch with their fellow patriots at Mar-a-Lago.

they are probably counting on another GOPee fascist at some point getting into the White House and rewarding wealthy backers by making sure an expensive sea wall or other mitigation measures are built using taxpayer funds.

(15,719 posts)The water is coming, that's for sure. People of means still want to live in Hi Rises on the water. The trick is to not be the last person holding property on Miami Beach when the tide does not go out... Like musical chairs and you don't have a chair when the music stops.
I don' think it will happen in my time but it's coming... King tides and storm come and the streets flood for a few hours, days and weeks. It recedes and at some point it wont. I headed for the high ground last year.

(12,182 posts)It wasn't even .25 acres. Rich people live WAY differently than other people.
I had the rather dubious pleasure of being from a totally middle-class family, but going to school with sons and daughters of people that were way too rich. There were somewhat more of "us" than "them," and some of them were actually nice people, but still...
When one of those sons went to an upscale dealership to buy himself an Aston Martin, he was asked how he planned to pay for it. "I thought I'd write a cheque." was the answer.
When the dealer came back from calling the bank to see about the validity of the cheque, his demeanour had changed more than a little. Apparently, the bank manager told him "If he gives you a good offer on the dealership, you should take it."
