Good evening, David. I can't wait to see you in your suit playing Butler. 175,000 new jobs created in May and there's a good bet that some of those jobs are in the personal assistant class to the very rich.
So rich they make Downton Abbey look like they're slumming it, never before have there been so many rich people needing the new wealth and pay big bucks to buy her then just this year nearly four hundred fifty billionaires, close to nine million millionaires almost tripling in class.
Making their dreams can come true and their living them behind high walls overlooking manicured lawn step every need taking care of 20 staff in a single home. I mean, it's like that show Downton Abbey years ago and it's still
going on today like old school country. Millionaire Mikey.
Yes, and the nanny and Manny reading spends his days tending to all of my needs three times a day. Avoid like a regular baby. I'm spoiled with whipped cream tonight. We're bringing you that show where boldly going inside behind the high
walls upstairs and downstairs.
Personal assistants are working for the super-rich and catering to their every need. Restart Rings Paradise Malibu. The True Religions Jeans Mogul can go mess with my ex-husband would describe me as a tornado either kind of like move in it or she spits you out. At work, which has just launched a new clothing line.
Hello, what a nice mansion you live in. How do you live here in this large estate? My assistant helps when my brain has left off. In many ways the modern equivalent of lady's maid from those old-school days. It's like working for her, but I wish I had four more brains, three more stomachs, and about 10 more arms. This is Amanda's first job out of college as a PA.
She's all right, we are going to take the dogs off to the groomer's today and each one has their own little personality like Cleatus is Will Ferrell. It's my job to run the errands. My boss wants someone at warp speed, but I don't know if you've ever tried paying for stuff that had to work at that speed.
I'm getting a little frustrated and disappointed. How many times I need to explain myself. How many assistants have you had. Probably eight? In what time frame? Two years. How much salary to the personal assistants get? I would say between $70K and $100K they want your 401k and other benefits.
You're right here. Let me pay you a hundred thousand and take my Phantom. Okay? Are you a ruthless boss? I would not describe myself as ruthless. I run my household like a business. The personal assistant has to coordinate the clothes in the closet properly.
The PA is on call 24/7 to do hair and makeup.
NOTE: This segment was originally filmed in twenty-thirteen. Now, in 2024, there are over 700 billionaires in the United States and more than 10MM millionaires. The numbers keep growing. In fact, many billionaires dramatically increased their wealth during the pandemic. Currently, a billionaire is made every day somewhere in the world.
