The Identity Strategist reported on the circulation statistics of the Centurion Card and the Platinum Card in two international magazines exclusively sent to cardholders outside of the United States. As of 2017, the magazine articles implied that there were 84,300 non-U.S. Centurion Cards and 397,000 Platinum Cards. In addition, The Identity Strategist estimates that about 20,000 Americans own the Black Card. That means there are rumored to be just over 104,000 Centurion Cards issued all over the world as of 2017. It’s little wonder why the card is so scarce. If the card were any easier to get, it would seem less exclusive and, therefore, less attractive to the rich. Millionaires and billionaires have a natural connection to luxury, and so does the Centurion Card. For example, a billionaire used his Black Card in 2015 to purchase an oil painting for $170 million. Needless to say, he racked up a lifetime supply of frequent flyer miles. Whatever the actual number of Centurion cardholders, you can expect it to remain relatively small, befitting its elite reputation.
