If you’re rich, and you’ve absolutely had it with buying cheap knockoffs on eBay, a new site designed for millionaires and billionaires may be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s called BillionaireXchange, and allows users to buy luxury items such as Lamborghini’s, $25,000 bottles of Cognac, to $40.4 million private jet planes.
As you may have imagined, the site also allows users to sell luxury items, though there is a 5% fee on listed items. Users must also be rich, having a net worth of over $2 million. The site claims to have 26,000 multi-millionaires, and “nearly a dozen” billionaires as members, according to Reuters.
During a ten-month testing phase, the website handled the exchange of over $180 million in valuables.
