Can an experienced house manager become a palace manager?
Household manager assistance
Yes, of course. In fact, that's usually the sequence. It would be rare for someone to have a palace manager job as their first role. A palace manager usually works in large estates first to learn how to work efficiently, then will get a job in a royal palace.
The size of the property, of course, has much to do with the number of responsibilities the palace manager will supervise, but what's most important is that they be proactive with the maintenance and motivate staff.

How much money does a palace manager earn?
Palace manager salaries vary based on a number of different considerations. Those include but are not limited to:
This list isn't exhaustive but will give palace owners an idea of the considerations. The country where the palace is located does also make a difference. Finally, if the PM will live in a high-end residential villa as part of the compensation package, then that is also taken in consideration against wages.
One last note: The palace manager reports directly to the owners or sometimes the director of residences.
- How many staff they manage and how effectively it's done
- The level of maintenance required
- The years of experience and level of education
- Any specialized training (e.g., close protection, security specialist, culinary arts, etc.)
