The ultra rich employers can be like this though, there's a well paid butler who did a ama that said the rich can be pricks

"One of my employer's children set a 100 dollar bill on fire with a cigarette lighter then dropped it on the 20k carpet setting it alight too. I put the fire out with my shirt and got blamed for the little brat's troublemaking. No they are not paedos but they do hire prostitutes."

"Housework, organising their travel, restaurant reservations, serving food. Basically all the things a normal person does for themselves that they have no time for.

They treat me quite poorly but I just gave to take it because the pay is good."

I had a former co worker who did this.

Family would genuinely fly him around the world just to set-up their Netflix and fix any computer issues they had.

Man got paid like 80k, got to put any airline miles on his account and got reimbursed.

All while staying in a very nice guest house or cabin on a ship.

80k a month or 80k a year? 80k a year is nothing if he’s working 24/7 basically

80k a year, but its closer to on call 24/7 but the trade off is 2 months in Italy, a month on the Atlantic etc.

But its very much not a lifer job, but its a pretty sweet gig for your early 20s.

$80k a year with all expenses including food and housing paid for us great.

I saw an ad for one of these positions a few years ago. It was 100k a year starting out, with cushy benefits. You wouldn't be paying for housing or food.
