This already exists in most elite social circles, albeit informally. A shared realtor, you happen to own a yacht slip next to someone at St. Barts, serendipitous private jet flights, etc. etc.
When everyone you know owns 3+ homes and would be able to easily cover any sort of damages that they cause people are much more willing to loan out keys and open their homes, especially when they aren't there.
I'm nowhere near that level of wealth, but I've been more than fortunate to be invited on some trips that follow this pattern. I've even heard from the horses mouth how someone literally spent two years after college traveling across the world, staying in nothing but her parent's friends' apartments/condos/houses with other socialites. You can get real deep into social psychology with this, but the social rules are different for people with such socio-economic standing. Money/assets are no longer dominant social currencies (and thus more willing to be risked)... it's more personality, looks/style, and tangential social connection.
i.e. I care a lot less that you drive a Ferrari and a lot more that you can get me into X social event through Y connection, or that you can give me good advice on popular art. Gotta keep up with the Jones' somehow, and when everyone has too much money you have to find other social signals.

I was fortunate to end up with a bunch of scholarships and funding to let me go to a much more expensive college than I would ever have otherwise been able to afford. Guy who lived across the hall from me was the son of a pharma exec, and I ended up learning a lot about how that stratum of society works.
And that's pretty close to it. I've known people who literally can say "oh, yeah, I don't need a hotel on that Europe trip, a friend of the family has a castle I can stay in".
