Description
Ciel was an ultra luxurious destination club, formed in 2006, that offered its members a variety of customized experiences.

For a full description of how the club originally operated see the article below on "The Ciel Club Provides Unique Experiences".
Members could pay their initial membership fee over three years. 60% of the members initial deposit is used to purchase real estate and the balance was held in segregated accounts and used to purchase T-Bills. Unlike many clubs if a member wishes to resign there is no wait, and 100% of the membership fee was paid out of these segregated accounts.
The club was headquartered in Golden, CO.
