What is it like working for a royal family or billionaire?
We all wish that we could be movie stars or billionaires because they get to travel on private jets, get in front of the line, and eat at the very best restaurants. Short of winning the lottery, there is a way to get to live the dream life and have the dream job, and that’s to become a personal assistant to the rich and famous.
Personal Assistant Jobs are not as hard to come by as you would think, but they aren’t going to fall into your lap either. Joining a personal assistant agency or high-end celebrity concierge headhunter is a good start.
Celebrities, high net worth families, and billionaires live throughout the United States and are always in need of trustworthy personal assistants. Since we are in a new Gilded Age of the super-rich, the opportunities for career personal assistants are at an all-time high. For example, there are over 550 billionaires in America alone. We can reasonably conclude that people of that stature have a multitude of assistants handling a variety of tasks, so there are thousands of personal assistant jobs with the billionaires alone.
Famous book authors, celebrities, media moguls, finance gurus, and other personalities live all over the country and are always in need of outstanding personal assistants. Do you think you have what it takes? If you are an office manager, secretary, errand runner, concierge, or administrative assistant, you probably already possess the kind of skills you would need to be successful as a personal assistant. Moreover, there is a good chance that a high-net-worth family lives in your area, even if you’re not in a major city like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, Washington DC, or Miami.
In addition to all the perks personal assistants get to enjoy, the pay can be staggering. Some personal assistants make over $100,000 a year. It is not unheard of for tenured assistants with the ultra-rich to make in excess of $250,000 a year. Not to mention, getting to travel to locations like Rome, Paris, London, or Hong Kong happens on a regular occurrence if you’re working for the jet-set. Not to mention be in charge of exotic car fleets.
