A billionaire killed by his assistant?
In one of the strangest events in domestic staffing history, a billionaire was murdered by his assistant. It happened in Monaco, which is one of the "billionaire capitals of the world." This is why it is extremely important for celebrities, high-net-worth families, and billionaires to hire the right domestic staffing agency.
Properly trained staffing agents can check references, do a background check, and have the candidate take a personality test. Some high-profile employers just hire domestic staff on a whim, and that can be disastrous.
Edmond Safra was the billionaire in question, and Ted Maher was his assistant. See the video below for complete details.

Is this an isolated incident for an assistant to go rogue?
Unfortunately, no, because it happens more often than you would think. Here are just a few examples:
The Phi Center founder filed a $12,000,000 lawsuit against a former assistant for misappropriation of funds. When an assistant is hired, it's recommended that protocols be put in place to ensure that they don't get too much responsibility in the beginning, especially when it comes to account access and money management.
In another strange event, Hollywood actor Luke Wilson's assistant was allegedly making unauthorized purchases on the actor's credit cards, which totaled somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000. Additionally, Wilson says that the personal assistant also stole personal property valuing another $75,000.
Even more recently, a celebrity New York City real estate agent was killed by her assistant. Buyer beware!
