15 Famous Stars That Hire Assistants To Perform The Most Absurd Tasks You Can Imagine
These wealthy celebrities employ personal assistants to handle the tasks they prefer not to do.
Some celebrities don’t just hire help, they outsource the weird little annoyances that would drive normal people insane. Like, Justin Bieber wants his food and drinks handled, Mariah Carey needed a party follower with a straw for lipstick, and Nelly treats his jewelry like a sacred collection that can’t risk another Las Vegas theft.
Then it gets even more chaotic. Larry Ellison dedicates half his yacht to basketball, so a hired speedboat rider has to chase down any balls that slip into the ocean. Ludacris has someone swapping extra batteries for his Game Boy. And P!nk reportedly brings in a nipple pincher before shows, while Oprah has a bra manager who makes sure everything fits perfectly.
1. Justin Bieber is just one of many famous people who find it bothersome and inconvenient to carry food and drinks with them.
While the pop singer isn't eating, his personal staff holds the food and beverages for him.

He takes such great care of his jewelry collection that he hires someone to accompany him on trips. He decided to do this after having $1,000,000 worth of jewelry stolen from his Las Vegas hotel room.

4. Larry Ellison is an avid basketball lover who owns a $50 billion firm.
He has dedicated half of his private yacht to playing this sport because of his passion for it. The only issue is that the ball may easily fall into the ocean.
The millionaire has decided to hire a person to ride a speedboat and retrieve any balls that drop from the yacht, as he doesn't want to share the boat's space with a lot of balls.

5. Ludacris has a strong passion for video games.
Like any other player, the most frustrating scenario for him is when the battery on his electronic device dies. Because of this, he had a helper carry extra batteries for his Game Boy in the early 2000s and swap them out as needed.

Justin Bieber’s staff holding his snacks is the start, but it’s the kind of convenience that snowballs fast when the party needs a literal straw handler like Mariah Carey did in 2008.
Speaking of snowballing, Nelly’s $1,000,000 jewelry theft in Las Vegas is what turns “take care of my stuff” into “hire someone to travel with me.”
And once Larry Ellison is tossing basketballs around on a yacht, the whole plan depends on a speedboat assistant retrieving every ball that drops into the ocean.
These well-known individuals have employed staff to perform a variety of strange and simply extraordinary tasks that most people would find absolutely unbelievable, rather than hiring helpers to assist them with their regular, everyday responsibilities. Oh well, it's their money, and they can afford to pay for these services.
