"Artist Josh Gura charges a private 'membership fee' to would-be Facebook friends

This is the first time to our knowledge anyone has charged admission to a Facebook page.

If the ministry of culture from a particular nation wishes to obtain a license for their entire population, there is a rebate involved. Otherwise, free individuals are charged a low fee.

Membership is for life. All sales are final.

UPDATE: My friendship started out being 40 Swedish kronor, and has steadily increased. The market value has increased by a great deal in the past year. Those who purchase my friendship are welcome to sell their friendship to anyone and make a profit, but are encouraged to reinvest."

As of September 2010, there are 10 patrons and matrons, and I am viewing more applications now.
