Status as a Service
I've long wondered whether it's possible to buy social status. It's tricky because having wealth gives an automatic status increase in most places. Of course, people need to know about the wealth, hence the prevalence of fancy cars, jewellery etc. So those things are used to broadcast wealth and thus hopefully increase social standing. The social networks mentioned in the post don't create status directly, but rather are used to advertise the status or wealth that was already there, which may have a compounding effect. But none of these methods are very efficient, I wonder what a more direct method would be? Something like "rent-a-cool-friend" or any of the Fyre founder's various  (fraudulent) schemes.
