At last, a magazine for needy self-made millionaires

Vancouver must have arrived, since Millionaire Blueprints, a magazine for the almost insufferably affluent, is distributing 20,000 copies in selected neighbourhoods on the left coast.

The magazine, published by an Arlington, Texas company, is distributed in the choicest neighbourhoods in about 20 major markets, according to a story in Media in Canada. In Vancouver this apparently means Yaletown, West Van, Kerrisdale, Point Grey and Kitsilano.

The content is largely aimed at entrepreneurs and self-described self-made tycoons and is mostly filled with profiles of people just like them and promises "Detailed Examples, Step-by-Step Instructions, And Specific Blueprints From Self-Made Millionaires". Who would have thought they needed them?

The cover of the magazine is incredibly ugly and tacky and the sample content and website so crass it is actually quite funny.

I'd just like to know what they pay freelancers.

Not sure what rich publishers pay freelancers, but rich consumers do buy a lot of expensive cars, over-priced booze, fancy watches, trendy interior design stuff, outrageously priced cosmetics, etc. that so many of our magazines depend on, tacky or tasteful.
