Top Luxury Concierge Websites for Wealthy People

First, let's have a look at some of the most common and unknown luxury services that exist at the moment


All those celebrities that are viewed as rich by the masses, most of them have them have made their money the traditional way- starting their business, working hard and steadily building their fortune. When it comes to generic wealth, rappers or athletes are not seen as peers while celebrities like Bezos and Jay-Z have been accepted into the business class of the society. With this in mind 14 rich services are used by the uber-wealthy to make their life easier and to make themselves feel richer:




Assistants



You might not know this but there are multiple kinds of assistants. The most popular two are (EA's and PA's). EA stands for Executive Assistant. An executive assistant acts as a buffer on all ongoing projects happening in the life of the super-wealthy. This is the person who keeps the manager in check. They know the passwords and are responsible for filtering out information that reaches the top.  On the other hand, PA stands for Personal Assitant. This person makes sure that your schedule gets fulfilled and to make sure where you are supposed to be and on time. PA's are higher ranked than the EA's because they have access to some of the more personal aspects of someone's life.




Personal Chefs



You probably expected to see this one in the list here because its a staple of what used to be thought of as exclusivity to the rich. Rich people value time over everything. Every single service that they can outsource to someone else to free up their time will justify the expenditure. Be very careful because this doesn't mean that they will sit back and let someone do everything for them. The only reason one should free up time is because they know they can use it for something better. Nutrition and cooking process is one of those things. You still get to enjoy a meal with the family without the hustle of purchasing the raw products or learning the recipes, etc. For the upper-middle class just search for a chef for hire and you will see a bunch of platforms waiting for you to just book someone.




Private Security



Unless you are filthy rich you probably wouldn't have even heard about any armoured commercial vehicle services. More rich people are buying bulletproof cars not just as a risk for getting shot but also in order to increase the chances of survival in an unorthodox event. While entry-level rich will go for private security from fairly well-known companies like G4S. High profile individuals may work with Brink's or DYNCORP.




Publicist & PR



Almost everything you read about rich people is the result of someone making an effort to shape their perceived image. These people make sure the world gets to see your best side. They push the media to tell your accomplishments and to do their best to burry any stain you might have on your resume. It might not always work though.




Private Wealth Management



You know how you are busy looking for opportunities to invest or make some extra money. The rich just don't have one person but an entire team of people who do that for them. They search for the best opportunities available and make calculated decisions on behalf of the billionaire to continuously grow their wealth. The generic rich individual uses index funds like Vanguard to invest their money which for most of you is probably the best option. That said, there are people out there who are constantly beating the market. Bridgewater and Two Sigma are one of the most well known which are available only for the elite club.




Access to private airstrips or closed off geographies



Numerous private airstrips are available to the super-wealthy to cut down on commute time. The second most valuable aspect of these people's lives is privacy and not being bothered by the world while they spend time with their family or reflect on what their next moves should be in life. There are private resorts out there which rely on invitation only and require a minimum net worth to join a couple of notable names are Singapore's Crockford's tower and Ladera resort. There are a bunch of secluded places there are not public information.




Personal item tracker



Rich people require private trackers because they like investing in rare item pieces like art, watches and collectables. The problem is that the most interesting ones are not put on eBay. They might pop up for private sale and private deals once in a couple of decades. So. what do you do to make sure you get a shot at bringing home the bacon. You exclusively hire a tracker and make sure you get what your heart desires. these connoisseurs travel the world, network with high profile people and act as a private buyer for their clients.




Personal medic and trainer



What's the point of having all this wealth if you cannot enjoy it for as long as you can. As you had to expect, almost all of the rich take their health seriously. Personal trainers take care of fitness. Nutritionists work closely with private chefs to get the most out of what you eat. Private medical services are also taken by people who might have serious health emergencies and can not rely on 911 to send an ambulance.




Private therapist, priest or life and meditation coach



When you have all the money in the world you want your focus strict. This is the reason why high- net worth individuals keep a mindset advisor on the payroll. This could be a therapist helping them overcoming anxiety or childhood trauma. A priest providing spiritual guidance and clarity on what's waiting on the other side or professional life or meditation coach or meditation coach who helps you focus your minds and efforts toward your next big objectives.




Life and property insurance



I am sure your insurance doesn't cover kidnappings, does it? The rich have a different set of privileges coming with their subscription including the cost of professional negotiators and SWAT teams to handle these type of situations. The same thing happens if one of your priceless items is stolen or is at the risk to be lost or there is a natural calamity in your region, then your agency will send helicopters to the danger region with highly trained individuals who will take your items to a safer place.




Country clubs and memberships to private groups



Its a private networking setting for the rich. Yes, you get the tennis court, golf course, cigar, spas, and all of that but that's not why most people join one. It's hard to make friends when you are rich and nobody can understand your struggles and everybody would want something from you. So, country clubs popped up as a setting to get similar individuals together and make some big business deals happen.




Elite nannies



You can not believe how competitive the elite premium nanny market is. Billionaires are fighting over specific nannies because once you get one it is a multiple-year commitment. Mainly referrals are the biggest hiring criteria in this business. They will be the ones who will be spending the maximum time with your children and supplementing the gaps you are leaving. Nannies are not just baby sitters. They are professional coaches who speak three languages or more. Provide emotional support and the necessary tools to provide your child with the support to evolve in the direction set by your parents. These nannies earn around $100,000 a year.




Multiple passports and offshore private banking



This is where things interesting or more on the grey side of things. One of the first things rich people do is secure a second or third passport. This allows them to travel to different countries that are restricted under your main nationality and this is quite lucrative for businesses and to make sure that no matter what happens you and your family will be taken care of. New will get a new name, new birth certificate and anything you want. You just have to know whom you have to ask.




High net worth dating



A big problem for rich individuals is dating. You simply don't have time live everybody else. Since you are basically trapped in running a portfolio of companies. So, what do you do? you read or see someone at an event that sparks your interest and then you ask your PA to talk to the other person's PA. Not quite different from high school is it? but only more money involved.
