Lots of people. I know several wealthy people with 1-3 full time staff.

During exceptionally busy periods I frequently hire someone full time for a few weeks or a month to handle all of the things I can't.

It's super common.




Yes, exactly. It's a rare thing and for people that have wealth and are involved in wealthy circles.

On the other side of things, I could never hire someone to help me. I have to spend my time worrying about trivial things like optimizing my food budget so I don't starve. I don't have the ability to pull away the distractions.

And yes, I am a tech worker in the USA. I still have to do this kind of thing.


It’s super common among high level or wealthy people. It’s much less common amongst lower ranks.
