How the Rich Buy an Easier Life: A House Manager Reveals All

How do the ultra-wealthy use money to make everyday life easier and what can we learn from the people who run their homes? Ramit goes behind the scenes with former house manager Lea Griffin to explore how wealthy families buy back their time, delegate daily decisions, and build a team they trust. From anticipating every household need to handling extraordinary requests, Lea reveals the work that makes their lives look effortless. Alongside helicopter commutes and a request to ship a $500,000 Mustang across the ocean, discover why the most expensive help isn’t always the best, what separates a great employer from a difficult one, and why spending more doesn’t necessarily mean living better. It’s a look at what money can take off your plate and why knowing what matters to you shapes how well you spend it. ⏩ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction 00:59 How a Billionaire Avoids the Daily Commute 02:47 How House Managers Make Life Easier 05:40 What It Takes to Keep Luxury Homes Running 08:18 What the Ultra-Wealthy Spend on Food and Drink 11:54 What It Takes to Handle Extraordinary Requests 16:29 How Wealthy Families Share the Work of Raising Kids 23:02 What Wealthy Families Value—and Spend Money On 28:02 Why More Money Doesn’t Always Mean More Happiness 32:38 Why Trust Matters: Staff, Privacy, and Surveillance THIS VIDEO IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY ➡️ Facet | As of the date of this recording, Facet is waiving the enrolment fee for new annual members, and for my audience, Facet is offering $300 into your brokerage account if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days.
