The world of online dating has never been as exclusive as this.  Their website is so private that you have to apply.  In fact, there’s nothing really on the UPdates website except a visual of a private jet and what appears to be a beautiful woman walking towards it.   Exclusivity is clearly one goal as it should be if you’re going to be the owner of the world’s most expensive dating site.  Website creators Léon McPherson and Gareth Thompson have created a unique members only club that organizes trips for their members by taking them on private jets to enjoy the most luxurious trips to private islands and river cruises.  The trips range from $80,000 to $280,000.

According to Spears, UPdating was nominated as a finalist in bringing Innovation to the Dating Industry (UK dating awards 2015).  Its members will enjoy gourmet dining, wine tasting, river cruises, luxurious pampering and unmissable cultural experiences on each exclusive trip. These elite trips take place across the globe and range from a long weekend to a full week.

The exclusive members club aims to bring together groups of diverse yet compatible people on a unique dating trip. Members are picked up from their home and chauffeured to the airport to board the private Jet. Once arrived, members are given the opportunity to interact deeply with each other through handpicked experiences with matches made through traditional courtship instead of computer algorithms. Founder Léon McPherson said ‘UPdates gives high net worth individuals the opportunity to meet people with similar interests outside of their social circle. On our sojourns they become part of the action – forging new relationships but within a trusted network’.

Applicants must be referred by the agency’s trusted network or by calling the agency directly to join the waiting list. All members are interviewed before being accepted and membership is not guaranteed. “Our members are successful, interesting and high-caliber individuals. UPdates carefully select each new member to ensure they complement and enrich our existing membership base.’ Léon McPherson stated.

This isn’t the first foray into exclusivity or luxury when it comes to online dating.   There are 100s of exclusive dating sites these days.  Even Match.com is affiliated with a high-end service which can cost over $3,000 called Three Day Rule.  Matchmaking has exploded with the advent of the internet and in recent years has moved on to the rich and famous.   Those who spend most of their time with business and other ventures rarely if ever have time to try and find their significant others.    That’s where these “luxury” dating sites and matchmaking services come in handy.

You can probably thank the Millionaire Matchmaker for driving these businesses.  We don’t have any information on UPdating’s financial numbers as of yet, but we’d be curious to know how many people are actually shelling out $250,000 a pop for these exclusive getaways and what kind of profits UPdates takes in.
