Learn English – Expression denoting exclusivity

expressionsidiomsphrase-requests

Can anyone think of an idiomatic expression in English to show how exclusive something is? What I'm looking for is an expression that will instantly communicate to a native English speaker that only the super-rich will be able to access this thing (whether it be a product, a club, a location, etc.).

Elite never goes out of style. Many of the suggestions above are less informative and more judgmental - "pompous"? I can be rich without being pompous. Others are simply poor word choices "nouveau riche" means new money and is used to imply flashy tackiness ("ballers"), the nouveau riche aren't invited into the traditional bastions of the elite. "Uber-chic" refers to style, which is continuously changing. I'm not going to go through the entire list, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just trying to answer the question appropriately.
