A discreet center known as “Club 50” operates in Santiago’s upscale “Sanhattan” district, serving as a meeting point for Chile’s wealthiest individuals and powerful politicians. The club facilitates business dealings and provides luxurious amenities like jacuzzis, gourmet dining, tailoring, and even podiatry services. Major stakeholders include prominent families with interests in mining and fishing—the Angelini, Luksic, and Matte families—along with former ministers from the Sebastián Piñera administration. Current Defense Minister Fernando Barros Tocornal is also listed among its shareholders. The club operates as an exclusive networking space for the nation’s elite, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and the concentration of power. This reveals a hidden world where significant decisions impacting Chile are potentially made behind closed doors. The existence of Club 50 highlights the close ties between business and politics within the country.
