The price tag is pretty damn hefty to join the other Masters of the Universe at the annual World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland. Assuming you've been invited, here's the breakdown of what you should expect to pay if you want to attend according to Andrew Sorkin of the Times:
- Single basic membership and ticket: $71,000
- Single membership and VIP ticket: $156,000
If you want a plus one, you'll have to upgrade your membership (because what executive wants to go solo?) to the "Industry Partner" level. Cost?
- $301,000
But you are an executive p-i-m-p. You want to bring an entourage of 5 people, which means you'll have to upgrade your membership to the "Strategic Partner" level. Cost?
- $622,000
Five bedroom chalet for you and your crew. Rental cost?
- $140,000
Now what about on-site transportation? The organizers provide a driver and car (Mercedes S-class). It's a bargain! Cost?
- $10,000
First-class airfare. Cost for one round-trip ticket from New York to Zurich?
- $11,000
Private plane round-trip option instead?
- $70,000
Helicopter from Zurich to Davos? Round-trip ticket cost?
- $6,800
If you're hungry, one restaurant has a minimum charge per person. Cost?
- $210
Lastly, if you're going to host an open bar party prices can range from expensive to expensive. Cost?
- $8,000 (one hour) to $250,000+.
If you go, don't forget to hold on to all the receipts to submit to expense when you get back.
