The Black Card

Do you spend more than $250,000 a year on your American Express card? If you do, then you may qualify for this baby, the most exclusive credit card in the world, the Amex Black Card, also called The Centurion.
 
I say may because you can't apply for it. They have to ask you. And it's delivered to your house by an armed guard.
 
It has no limit, you can buy anything with it. Even a Bentley. It's been done.
 
The $5,000 account initiation fee and the $2,500 yearly fee are pocket change to anyone who would carry this card.
 
This is an example of something that existed as a legend long before it was real. But now, it's real.
 
Not that I'll ever know.
