It’s the Golden Age for Personal Assistants to the 1%
The Super Rich by the Numbers
If you look at the data about the super rich, there is one undeniable truth: the rich are getting richer. In fact, according a recent report by the Swiss Bank, wealth for billionaires exploded by 10 trillion during the Great Pandemic.
Never before in history has there been more opportunity to work as a personal assistant or estate manager to the world’s 1% than right now. While many industries are scaling back in 2021, the ultra-rich are stocking up on one must-have item: a personal assistant.
Even before the Covid pandemic, the numbers for the wealthy have been on the rise. There are now more than 2,000 billionaires in the world. About 25% of them live throughout the United States, and America also has more than 10 million millionaires.
Working & Managing the Lives of the Elite
Since the 1% employ small armies of assistants, nannies, housekeepers, social secretaries, butlers and other sorts of domestic staff, you may consider reaching out to a staffing agency that serves celebrities and high-net-worth families.
You may be asking yourself just how much one can earn while living the jet-set life with business icons or industry titans. An executive assistant working at a Fortune 500 CEO, for example, may earn a salary of $80,000 or $100,000 depending on the market and level of experience. Well, that same EA could “jump the fence” and work for that same CEO as a personal assistant and double their salary — not to even mention the perks like flying on private jets and managing exotic car fleets.
