Zero Bond membership requirements

Every criterion Zero Bond publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it — plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

How admission works

Application process
Applications are made online from the club's Apply for Membership page, which lists the three age-banded tiers with their annual dues and initiation fees and a "Start application" link for each. The club does not publish a sponsorship, committee or interview requirement. Global Lifetime membership is by invitation and handled by email enquiry.
Invitation required
No
Sponsor required
— not documented by the organization or a source we could verify
Selectivity
Not publicly disclosed. Business Insider reported a 9,000-person waitlist in December 2021; the club has published no figure since.
Membership term
Annual, billed per annum with a one-off initiation fee; Global Lifetime membership is a single lifetime payment
Primary audience
The club describes itself as "the essential gathering space for leaders and the change-makers", made of "connectors and innovators across business, culture, media, politics, health and sports"
Typical member
Reporting places the membership among New York business, media, entertainment, sport and political figures; press accounts have named Taylor Swift, Baz Luhrmann and Tom Brady among visitors, and Eric Adams held his 2021 post-election party at the club.
