The one who left for the simpler life and consequently had to give up the Black card has a much better life these days. Unlock rich rewards, exclusive benefits and premium services with the David Jones American Express Platinum Card. The miserable person I described first was an equal partner in ownership of that large company, and stayed to keep the physical luxuries, but ended up divorced, not much of a relationship with his kids, and no friends or hobbies. and took a big pay cut, but ended up a really happy and down to earth person with a loving family and lots of time to spend with them. He gave up luxuries like the Black card, a new Mercedes every year, a vacation home that he never went to, etc. (I'm criticizing the OP's take, not yours).Īnother personal example I can think of is friend who divested from a stressful and time consuming job running a large company to run a much smaller business. But putting money aside for a second, the notion that someone has "crushed it" in life simply by being rich enough to comfortably afford a Black card is just flawed thinking in its own right. Its also invite-only you cant apply without permission from Amex.
In my own experience, the people I know who had/have Black cards were great with money, and had LOTS of it (obviously). The Amex Centurion 'black' has an initiation fee of 10,000 and an annual fee of 5,000. Yeah I totally see where you're coming from.
