Marriott offers lifetime platinum. Details can be found in several threads e.g. this one. Several lifetime Plats on FT.

There's also lifetime Royal Ambassador status with Intercontinental (which implies lifetime Platinum in Priority Club as well, provided RA status continues to come with PC Plat I imagine).

Starwood Preferred Guest doesn't confer lifetime Platinum... but you can receive lifetime Platinum status in SPG for certain high-end purchases with Starwood Vacation Ownership.
I used to think that continuing to hold an Amex Centurion card (I don't, won't pay the fee) meant lifetime Starwood Platinum... but the benefit has been cancelled.

Note that this information is within the post that gleff gave. Just wanted to make sure this was clear to the OP.

Too early in the morning for me, I guess (or a bias that all three-letter capitalized references have to be to an airport)
