What Berkeley International costs
Observed 2026-06-08. Where a fee is gated we say so — we never guess a number.
| What you pay for | Fee | Source |
|---|---|---|
| UK / Europe / global tiers Starting figures published / widely reported; top of range third-party. | From ~£12,000 +VAT (UK) → ~£35,000 (global), up to ~£250,000 | source |
How it works: Annual membership with unlimited matches, tiered by geographic reach
Who owns Berkeley International?
Led by Global Director Mairead Molloy (joined 2004); many international offices. Confidential introductions for affluent professionals.
The verdict
One of the more upfront elite firms — it publishes a starting fee (~£12k+VAT) and scales by reach up to ~£250k. No audited success claims to scrutinise.
Same lens, the whole industry
We decode dating apps, coaches and matchmakers the same way — what it costs, who owns it, and what the claims are worth. No affiliate money, anywhere.
Keep digging
We take no money from Berkeley International or any matchmaker. Figures observed 2026-06-08from the firm's own page, mainstream press, or court records; gated fees recorded as gated; figures from VIDA Select (a competing matchmaker) flagged as an interested source. See methodology.
