The first mass gathering of the super rich in Malaysia’s history
From 16 to 19 June 2009, the High Net Worth Summit 2009 Kuala Lumpur will be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
It is invitation only – and only those with assets worth USD30 million (RM100 million) or more, excluding the value of their main residence, are qualified to attend.
Some 2,000 such people from around the globe are expected to attend, half from Asia, and the others from Europe, North America, the Middle East, Russia and South Africa.
Their combined net worth is estimated to be at least USD40 billion (RM149 billion).
Has such a gathering under one roof ever been attempted here, or even anywhere?
The purpose of the event is to “provide a platform to network for the rich and famous, luxury brands and rich corporations to sign deals and buy luxury items.”
The first-of-its-kind event is organised by Iyecon Events Sdn Bhd and ECMI Sdn Bhd in partnership with Vistajet and Mandarin Oriental.
The masterminds are two lawyers — Malaysian Tan Wei Ming, 33 and Londoner Guy Holland.

… it seems all gatherings in Malaysia are done in hotels, I think it’s about time they’re done in rv parks for a change …
