Launch of World's Most Expensive Dating Site
Love is really in the air as new dating concept UPdates flies the Super Rich to exotic love islands for £250,000.
The world’s most expensive dating site has launched today offering blind dates for between £60,000 and £250,000.
Aimed at the super-rich, UPdates International organises ‘sojourns’ for its members taking them by private jet to enjoy luxurious trips to private islands and river cruises.
Created by Léon McPherson and Gareth Thompson, this unique members club brings together groups of diverse yet like-minded people on a unique dating vacation.
Once arrived, members are given the opportunity to get to know each other through handpicked experiences with matches made through traditional courtship instead of computer algorithms.
A small but expert concierge team manages members’ requests while a lead on-site relationship manager handles all the dating dynamics of the group, including mini dates, travel logistics and itinerary arrangements.
While no two sojourns are the same, members will enjoy gourmet dining, wine tasting, river cruises, luxurious pampering and unmissable cultural experiences on each exclusive trip.
Founder Gareth Thompson said: “Whilst online, app and rapid-fire dating are tremendously popular, these cannot replace the enchanting encounter that a shared experience of the trip of a lifetime creates.
“Sharing new experiences creates irreplaceable memories and establishes an intimate connection between two people.”
These elite trips – or sojourns – take place across the globe and range from a long weekend to a full week. The inaugural sojourn, which takes place in April, is fast approaching and places are limited to a select few.
The exclusive getaways are aimed at the Capital’s super-rich, with membership currently restricted to residents of Greater London and its surrounding counties.
Membership is strictly limited and applicants must be referred by the agency’s trusted network or by calling the agency directly on 0203 808 8388 to join the waiting list. All members are interviewed before being accepted and membership is not guaranteed.
Léon added: “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.
“Our members are successful, interesting and high-calibre individuals. UPdates carefully select each new member to ensure they complement and enrich our existing membership base.”

ABOUT:
UPdates International was founded in 2015 by modern day cupids, Léon McPherson and Gareth Thompson.
Léon and Gareth found themselves travelling to the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 to host events on board a luxury yacht. It was there where they would arrive at the idea of UPdates after a number of exchanges with high net-worth individuals who complained elite dating agencies were failing to deliver and that the element of adventure and excitement was missing.
UPdates was a finalist for Innovation within the Dating Industry 2015 Award at the UK Dating Awards 2015.
Typical UPdates members are high net-worth individuals aged between 35 and 50. They are attractive and stylish, like to keep fit and have an array of interest across the arts, culture, food & wine, outdoor pursuits, philanthropy and world travel.
TESTIMONIAL:
Sara, a business owner from Kensington: “With the rise of niche dating, UPdates combines a slower, more traditional form of dating and courtship, with a uniquely modern twist.”
