Private Event Insurance Application: Fill & Download for Free

Greetings! Bubble soccer (or bubble football as its known throughout many parts of the world) was actually invented in 2011 in Norway just a joke by Henrik Elvestad & Johan Golden. Little did they know, they would set the foundation for such a spectacular and crazy new sport.In April of 2014, a video from a Bubble Football operator in Algund, Italy set the internet on fire. Google traffic volume shows a huge spike in the sport from barely any searches to literally millions of searches throughout the world in about a weeks time, all because of one video posted on YouTube (below). Bubble soccer had exploded and the world wanted more of it.Still in its infancy, Bubble Soccer as it became known in the United States had a number of issues with it that made it very difficult for people to operate, especially in North America. First and foremost was the seemingly limited availability of quality equipment, which made many initial operators fail simply because there was no industry standards as to what constituted a decent bumper ball. Couple this with a lack of willing underwriters for insurance because of a lack of claim history made the sport incredibly difficult to make successful.Our organization (National Association of Bubble Soccer) came on the scene in early 2014 with a goal of solving these inherent issues to grow this fantastic sport. A lack of formal games rules, quality equipment, and willing insurers were the obstacles that needed to tackled first. Fast forward to today, and National Bubble Soccer has quite literally written the book on the sport, in addition to providing the best quality bubble soccer equipment available and applicable insurance that our affiliates can reliably build a business around.As far as how the game is played, standard soccer rules apply, but full contact is allowed. In our organization in particular, various rules have been put into play to make the game even safer for players which makes our affiliates and insurers able to operate and underwrite with peace of mind. Leagues and private rentals from our affiliates are available in over 35 North American cities and is expected to double by the end of 2015. If you're renting or playing in a NABS-authorized league or private event (designated by our authorized league badge on their website), you can be sure that the game is being administrated to the official rules and procedures of the organization, that each operator is insured, and is using the best equipment for player experience and safety.As far as a championship, our organization has our sights set on a national championship ("The Bubble Bowl") towards the end of 2015, slated to be held in Las Vegas. The event will be covered by stations such as ESPN & Telemundo and will feature the best of the best players from NABS affiliates across the US & Canada, all competing for the Vince Lombubble Trophy and its appropriate bragging rights. Keep an eye on our & our official Bubble Soccer Blog for more updates! Hope that helps!

Look for updates. I will be reaching to high net worth friends and a few people with close friends who are billionaires.Watch winders - Expensive mechanical watches (Rolex, Patek Phillipe) need to be wound by movement, typically on your wrist. If you have several of these watches, they won’t be on your wrist frequently enough to stay wound and keep time so rotating winders inside cabinets will keep watches moving and accurate.Wine futures - These provide claims on exclusive wines still maturing in barrels but not yet bottled.Art movers - A notch above executive relocation services, fine art movers will carefully craft a relocation plan then crate and move your art from one residence to another. This will often entail building custom crates for each piece. In some instances armed guards may be present.Young wives - For American men who earn in the top 0.01% or more than $7 million/year, the average age difference between them and their second wives is 22 years.Jet memberships/fractional jet ownership - One of the best things about being super rich is not having to deal with commercial airports and TSA screening lines. Owning a jet outright even for billionaires makes little sense as it won’t be used enough to cover the capital investment in a single plane. Additionally, you might need different types of planes depending on the destination (distance, remoteness) and number of guests so jet memberships gives you 24/7 last minute access and flexibility.Showers in private jets - It’s far too heavy and expensive to keep enough water on a business jet for long showers that merely eject the used water. Midsized private jets can have showers that recycle, filter, and sterilize the water to reuse from onboard tanks that are 1/10th the size otherwise needed without recycling. These can cost over $500k + installation.Dinosaur skeletons - Some private owners in the LA area have furnished their homes with complete dinosaur skeletons costing as much as $1.5 million. An anonymous buyer purchased a complete T-rex in 2020 for $38 million, which suggests it could be headed to a private residence.Safe rooms - Security conscious high net worth individuals can have rooms in a house impervious to intruders and can protect occupants from natural disasters such as tornados.Road show limousine services - Used mainly by CEO/CFOs and investment bankers, these exacting ground transportation services are used to attend 6–10 investor meetings in a city per day at up to $1k/day. The critical issue is that you are expected to be on time for each meeting regardless of traffic or the weather. Drivers speak excellent English and will know the intricacies of the route, often driving it the previous day in advance to avoid any hiccups.Art work security systems - If you have a $20 million dollar painting, its possible to have specific technology to create alerts when it is moved separate from but tied into your home security system. These can be left activated 24/7 regardless of who is inside the residence.High end home safes - There are very expensive home safes (over $200k) that are designed to resist multiple forms of attacks including from plasma cutters. They employ a mixture of thermal and mechanical barriers.Koa furniture - Grown in Hawaii, Koa wood is turned into fine furniture costing as much as $50,000 for a desk or $25,000 for a bookcase.Concierge medicine - If you want an MD to give you his personal cell phone number and 24/7 access, this is available as a service. Also, high net worth individuals can get various medical services/testing that might be considered wasteful given low likelihoods of positive results.Tailored insurance products -Disability insurance (e.g. for a surgeon) - complex details regarding what the insured can actually do post disabilityKey man insurance (e.g. for a CEO) - often paid for by employersKidnap/ransom insurance - foreign executives/local high net worth locals in developing countriesArt work insurance - Very high end art will often have often have very specific insurance that includes different types of provisions for repairable damage or total loss. Complexity of these policies can lead to post-damage law suits. Steve Wynn had such an issue when he put his elbow through a Picasso painting valued at over $100 million.Medical evacuation insurance - This insurance provides for immediate extraction when traveling should a medical emergency arise.Heated bathroom floors - A nice amenity in high end bathrooms, a heated floor offers additional comfort and helps water evaporate.Sophisticated home security technology - Very high end home security systems can employ expensive pressure sensors in flooring to see where a human might be standing in a residence. There can also be nonlethal and lethal defensive technologies such as ultra dense glycol smoke screens and hidden panels loaded with shotgun shells. The latter is generally not available in developed western countries where the legal system prohibits lethal force used to thwart property crimes.Phalloplasty or penis enlargement - Some wealthy men without any disabilities are willing to go under the knife to get larger phalluses.Cosmetic gynecology - There are various forms of nonessential gynecological procedures such as a labia reduction and perhaps slightly more medically justifiable, vaginal tightening or rejuvenation, especially after childbirth.Ultra expensive fabrics - There have been men’s suit fabrics with barely-noticeable metallic gold thread to create $20k+ suits. Some expensive sheets from Pratesi can cost thousands of dollars.Million dollar NEW wristwatches - There are new releases of Patek Phillipe watches that cost over $3 million. That is to say, they are not antiques or rare discontinued models. Some of these models are only offered to existing strong collectors of Patek Phillipe watches and the prices are often not made public. Patek Phillipe must be sure you are good enough for the watch to be allowed to purchase. Patek watches in this category include the Ref. 2523 and the 6300G grand complication.Real estate that costs more than $10,000 per square foot - A few real estate transactions in NYC have exceeded the $10k/ft2 threshold. Ken Griffin’s $238 million purchase of 24,000 square foot unfinished condo comes close but will likely exceed $10k/sq foot with the interior fully built out. The average new construction home in the U.S. is about 2,500 square feet, which would cost about $25 million at such prices.Steam showers - Sealed, self-enclosed steam showers that bathe occupants in blasts of steam but prevent steam from escaping into the bathroom or surrounding environment can be found in some ultra-luxury bathrooms.Credit cards with concierge service - For a $10,000 initiation fee and $5,000/year membership fee, the American Express Centurion Card (aka “Black Card”) offers numerous perks such as concierge service and access to special events.Former U.S. Presidents as speakers - For a fee (like $50k to $100k per day), many former U.S. presidents will speak at private events like elite investor retreats regardless of the political orientation of the guests. In rare cases, there might be republican and democratic former presidents speaking, separately, at a single event.Elite college application preparation - More people have heard about this one due to the recent scandal. However, there are still very legitimate, legal, and expensive services available to assist with your ambitions to gain admission to a top university. The most expensive service providers will have a track record of getting marginal candidates into the best school.Sold out hotel rooms - Luxury hotel chains such as the Four Seasons will keep a number of rooms unavailable and outside of the main reservation system just in case a VVIP (very very important person) needs a room.Christmas decorations services - Professional Christmas decorators will use their lights and ornaments to decorate your home and remove them when the season is over. You don’t have to lift a finger.Room service in condo buildings - This started with condominiums that were in the same buildings as Four Seasons and Ritz Carleton hotels. Now some ultra high end buildings on NYC’s billionaire’s row have room service meals and other hotel-like services despite lacking a co-located hotel.Night nannies - Parents who need uninterrupted sleep can hire night nannies when their primary nanny is off duty in the evening.New release movies at home - There was a company, Prima Cinema, that gave customers same-day access to newly released movies at $500 each + $35k for special onsite equipment. Prima may have folded but the service could be resurrected.Heated driveways that melt snow - While many people have heard of these, what is less well known is the operating costs that can exceed $1,000/day for the electricity. For example, a driveway in a nice sized home (NOT a megamansion) in Westchester County would use about (50 watts/ft2 )* (5,000 ft2) * (24 hours)/1,000 = 6,000 kwh/day. At $0.23/kwh, this would cost $1,380/day when used continuously or $57/hour. For reference, this is about 20x the amount of electricity required for a dual air conditioning system on a 4,000 square foot house.Celebrity performances at private parties - Many top entertainers will play at private events for the right price. I was once at a party hosted by a billionaire with about 300 guests. Maroon 5 was the main act. Was very cool to stand 10 feet away from Adam Levine. The speed painter (like the late Denny Dent) was really awesome as well.Educational vacations on charter jets w/experts - National Geographic runs charter jet “Expeditions” to specific continents with relevant cultural experts aboard such as top university professors, starting at $90k per person. When the Concorde was still operating, there were Alumni-only charters that started at $75k/person in the late 1990s. These were generally branded by the university and not the operator.Automobile turntables in garages - For garages in luxury townhomes on busy streets, owners will install turntables so the car always faces the safest direction. Pull in driving forward and exit driving forward.Faucets over stoves - Some high end kitchens will have long faucets installed behind a multi-burner stove despite no sink drain.Tax free art storage - Many art purchases require sales taxes, which can be quite steep if the piece costs millions of dollars. There are legally established tax-free storage facilities that allow investors to avoid paying this tax.Private citizen space travel - The first space tourist paid $20 million for his flight on a Soyuz craft to the International Space Station in 2001. The current price is $55 million/person by Axiom Space that will use the SpaceX Dragon to reach the ISS.Residential car elevators - There are a few [smaller] high rise buildings with car elevators that bring you directly to your condo such as 200 Eleventh avenue in NYC. For individual homes, there are double stack lifts above ground and underground lifts for basement storage of your car collection.Private suites on commercial aircraft - Airlines who have purchased the A380 superjumbo have created private suites with double beds, including the three room “Residence” on Etihad Airways for $38,000. Some of the suites including the Residence have a private bathrooms with showers.Cryopreservation - If you have $200k and believe medical science will one day be able to turn your corpse into a sentient being, you can have your body frozen in liquid nitrogen.Expensive hamburgers - A few establishments in NYC sell wagyu beef hamburgers with truffles (the fungus) that cost $150 - $300 each.Pure cocaine - Billionaire drug enthusiasts like Henry Nicholas, who was the founder of Broadcom, have been reported to buy complete one kilo bricks of cocaine for himself and friends so that he knows it hasn’t been cut by dealers.Personal submarines - These can range from under $100k for a single person craft to over $3 million.Valet residential garbage service - Some affluent suburbs don’t want garbage cans/bags out in the open. Wealthy residents also don’t want to drag the garbage to the curb. Therefore, some cities have contracted to have valet-only garbage collection where collection staff will retrieve garbage on your property at a location of your choosing. This service has been introduced in some more modest communities in recent years on a house-by-house basis but in more established communities it is basically mandatory.Intrusive police agencies - In some smaller ultra-affluent communities, the police will ask for a copy of your home keys and your alarm codes. You can always refuse but it’s offered if you feel comfortable. These arrangements appear where mostly corporate and professional types live, not celebrities that might have illegal drug use in their homes.Pleached trees - At large estates in Europe and in the LA area, trees are grown along both sides of a long driveway with the branches intertwined to form one continuous green upper layer but with open space between the trunks.Nuclear blast resistant bomb shelters - A handful of companies have created luxury underground bomb shelters, including in abandoned nuclear missile silos. They have several months of food and fuel. Some can withstand multi-kiloton blasts within a mile of the underground structure.McDonald’s Gold Card - Special folks such as Warren Buffet have been given free McDonald’s food for life with a secretive card, the McDonald’s Gold Card. It’s actually free but extremely difficult to obtain.Private rail cars - In the Chicago area, Metra still operates the last private commuter rail car in the United States - Car 553. It operates daily from the affluent North Shore suburbs to downtown Chicago. It has amenities such as spacious seating and a bridge (card game) room.Ballistic doors and panels - Some upscale homes in the LA area (and presumably other third world communities) boast of ballistic doors and wall panels. These are mostly for the front door and in the master suite. These are slightly different than the aforementioned safe rooms as they are even used in nearly all glass structures.Tax attorneys - About 1,500 Americans are sent to prison each year because of income tax evasion as monetary penalties are not sufficient deterrents. High net worth individuals who are obviously guilty will pay anything to stay out of prison. “Tax controversies” can cost over a million USD in legal fees to defend.Afghan hounds - The most glamorous breed of dog, these long haired canines are extremely high maintenance and difficult to train.Hermes Birkin bags - This “nonexistent” purse is generally only sold to strong buyers of Hermes products and can cost over $20k new. It’s also one of the few retail goods on the planet that increases in price the minute it leaves the store. Some special edition models have gone for over $300kPersonal chefs - If you want restaurant-quality meals at your residence, highly trained chef come to your house to prepare meals to your specifications.Multiple washers/dryers - This one is somewhat obvious and accessible to the middle class. Larger mansions will have two or more each of washers and dryers in a dedicated laundry room. Many affluent families do some or all of their laundry and don’t have live-in staff. This speeds up the process and limits disruptions caused by appliance failures.Bespoke shoes - For $8k to $24k John Lobb will make custom shoe lasts (wooden forms) and craft a pair of shoes matching your anatomy precisely.Private enclave in a public museum - The Sackler family of oxycodone infamy has a private enclave in the Metropolitan Museum of Art inaccessible to the public.Vertu phones - In its heyday, Vertu sold mobile phones with Nokia electronics and cases of gold and platinum that cost as much as $88,000. The company was resurrected from bankruptcy and currently slightly less expensive luxury mobile phones.Supersonic travel - Three companies: Spike, Aerion, and Boom are planning to resurrect commercial supersonic travel by 2030. Business jets from Aerion will cost $120 million or about twice current top-of-the-line large business jets. Boom plans to make supersonic travel possible with its Mach 2.2 Overture airplane from London to NYC for $5,000 per seat roundtrip or about 1/4 of Concorde prices in 2020 dollars.Starlight headliners (Rolls Royce) - With up to 1,600 fiber optic lights representing individual stars, the Starlight Headliner, a bespoke option for certain Rolls Royce automobiles will show the night sky of your choosing.Lunch with Warren Buffett - For over 20 years, Warren Buffett has auctioned off a one-on-one lunch with the proceeds going to the Glide charity. The highest price paid for a single lunch was $4.6 million and over $35 million has gone to Glide.Unreleased studio albums - Martin Shkreli who was the “most hated man in America” purchased an unreleased Wu Tang Klan unreleased album “One Upon a Time in Shaolin” for $2 million.Leather flooring - Companies such as Edelman and Tang make real leather flooring that costs as much as $75 per square foot compared to about $12 per square foot for the most expensive in-stock hardwood flooring, Purpleheart, or $3–$4/square foot for oak.Cocobolo flooring - Cocobolo flooring is probably the most expensive wood flooring available as flooring planks (i.e. not raw wood) and costs $60 per square foot or about 20x the least expensive solid hardwood or about 5x the most expensive stocked flooring, Purpleheart.Artisanal ice - Chic cocktail bars in LA, London, New York, and Chicago (The Aviary) serve cocktails with artisanal ice that can include flower petals and herbs, be 3D machined, or be hollow. Suntory in Japan has made cost prohibitive machined ice cubes that are miniature pagodas and other elaborate shapes.Artists in residence - A few luxury buildings in NYC (108 Leonard St.) and Miami (Ritz Carlton Residences) have artist studios on site with semi-permanent artists working and/or living on site.Tree brokering and relocation - For wealthy homeowners and developers, a mature tree can really enhance a property’s aesthetics. Procuring and relocating a mature tree can cost more than $250k. In some cases, unsolicited offers for tree are made to landowners.Self-destructing art - Banksy’s “Girl With a Balloon” was purchased for $1.4 million at Sotheby’s and abruptly shredded itself.Hokkaido Snow Beef - A notch about standard Waygu beef, Japanese snow beef costs about $300/lb raw and a 3 oz steak costs as much as $160 at a restaurant ($853/lb).

I’m answering this question on December 14, 2019.Assuming that we’re talking about the United States, here are key things for a 26-year-old to know:You need to understand how health insurance works. That means you need to understand the broad options (employer-based coverage, marketplace coverage, private coverage and Medicaid) as well as terms of coverage (premiums, deductibles, co-pays, HSAs).You need to understand your current health insurance plan, assuming that you have one. If you are currently covered under a parent’s plan, then you need to know the plan-specific rules governing your eligibility for continued coverage when you turn 26. Some plans will terminate your coverage on your birthday and some at the end of the month during which you turn 26, while the most generous will allow you to keep coverage until December 31st of the year in which you turn 26.You need an immediate education in your current and future health insurance options. In particular, you need to find out IMMEDIATELY whether you can or should apply for coverage under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). Does your state operate a state-specific health insurance exchange? If so, you need to find out your state’s deadline for 2020 Open Enrollment. If no, you can purchase coverage through the federal exchange. THE OPEN ENROLLMENT DEADLINE TO ENROLL FOR 2020 COVERAGE THROUGH THE FEDERAL EXCHANGE IS IS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2019. That’s tomorrow. You can learn more here: Get ready to apply for 2020 coverage. [12/17/2019 EDIT: THE FEDERAL EXCHANGE HAS EXTENDED THE OPEN ENROLLMENT DEADLINE FOR 2020 ENROLLMENT TO 12/18/2019 - Obamacare enrollment period extended until December 18 .]If you’re not yet 26, or if you have coverage under a parent’s plan through a future date (for instance, December 31), then you’re in luck. The reason is, losing health insurance coverage is a “qualifying event” that allows you to apply for health coverage through the exchange outside of the Open Enrollment period.You should also know what your options are for obtaining health insurance through your employer or through the private marketplace. If you’re eligible for an affordable employer-sponsored health insurance plan, then you will not be eligible to purchase insurance through the exchange. “Affordable” is defined by the government. The big advantage of purchasing insurance through the exchange, if you are eligible to do so, is that you may qualify for a subsidy. Also, even if you don’t qualify for a subsidy now, if your income goes down, then you may become eligible for a subsidy . . . but only if you have chosen to purchase your insurance through the exchange. Depending on your income and state of residence, it is also possible that you may qualify for Medicaid.If all of this is total gibberish, then you will do best to find a reputable, licensed, independent health insurance agent to help you understand the options.

I’m not the best person to answer this question, but then again, I’m not a bad person to answer it, and so far I seem to be the only respondent. My qualification is lots of years of making health insurance decisions for my family.
