Billionaire Personal Assistants Earn £100k Managing Luxury Lifestyles

The Netflix series Sirens, starring Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock, depicts the demanding and dramatic life of a personal assistant (PA) to a wealthy, controlling boss, a portrayal echoed by former high-end PAs who have worked for celebrities and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs). Such roles require diverse skills including multilingual fluency, accounting knowledge, endurance, empathy, and exquisite taste, with salaries starting at £100,000 or more in the US, but with very little free time. The work often involves managing complex tasks like purchasing luxury items, overseeing renovations, and handling family logistics, in environments filled with lavish homes and priceless art. In a related perspective, the mindset of self-made billionaires emphasizes long-term planning, patience, and resilience, focusing on sustainable wealth-building rather than immediate gratification. Separately, a Manhattan socialite recounts her strategic journey from modest beginnings to marrying a billionaire, highlighting social maneuvering, networking, and selective dating as key to ascending into high society. These accounts collectively shed light on the unique lifestyles, challenges, and psychological approaches tied to wealth, luxury service roles, and social climbing among the ultra-rich.
