A private membership. Global Estate Society brings together people who build, invest and create, and hosts them in great homes around the world. Chapter One opens at an undisclosed Miami mansion, with 25 founding seats at $50,000 a year.
Global Estate Society is a membership company. Members get every Society event free with a plus one, a deal room, an introductions desk and a home base at an undisclosed Miami mansion, with more to come. The first 25 members join as Founding Members.
Every seat goes to someone who cares deeply about humanity and is willing to put their talent, capital and voice behind making the world better.
Our members come from every country, culture, faith and background. They build companies, fund ideas, make art and lead communities. Some arrived with everything, and some built everything from nothing. What they share is a commitment to doing it the right way: with integrity, with generosity, and with the next generation in mind. We choose members for their character as much as their success, and every member supports the Society's aligned charity, Foster Dreamzzz.

Tell the Society where you want to be, and the concierge will work to get you there. That might be a table at a restaurant that is booked months out, a seat inside the room at a major awards show, time behind the scenes at a big game, the front row at fashion week, or a private look at an art fair before the doors open.
These requests are arranged through the Society's relationships and depend on availability. Founding Members are served first.
Quarterly closed-door sessions in the fire courtyard. Members present raises, acquisitions and co-investment opportunities to the room.
Tell us who you need to meet. The Society arranges warm introductions inside the membership and across its international network.

"While Allen was discovering what it meant to finally have a home, I was learning what it meant to lose one. Allen and I cannot rewrite the beginnings of our own stories, but together we are determined to help rewrite the endings of thousands of others."
Allen J. West was a border baby, left in a hospital for his first 13 months before entering foster care. Dr. Glenn Toby lost his home at eight and was homeless through the seventh grade. They grew up in the same community.
