Wealthy families in New York City and around the world will shell out loads of money for the right household help.
Whether you run a company or a household, time is often your most valuable resource.
For those who can afford to, hiring help — from assistants to nannies to chauffeurs — can make life a lot easier.
Business Insider spoke with David Youdovin, the founder and CEO of Hire Society, a recruitment firm that helps high-net-worth individuals and families in New York City, the Hamptons, and Palm Beach, staff their homes and businesses.
"The vast majority of our clients are the .01% — they have multiple homes, domestic aircraft, and several members of domestic staff," said Youdovin, who worked as a butler and estate manager for a billionaire family before founding Hire Society in 2012.
"There's major altruism in putting good people to work with these families," Youdovin said. "These salaries can be life-changing, especially for people not originally from the United States."
Below, Youdovin provided us with a list of the most common positions wealthy families are looking to hire for, and how much they pay annually. Youdovin says the salaries range based on previous experience and references.
