A Milestone for the Blog!

It's hard to believe but as of this month we're beginning the fifth year of  "The Billionaires Butler"!

When I first began back in 2011 it was mostly a diary for family and friends about how the super rich live and conduct themselves on a daily basis. I seriously doubted anyone else would be interested, but that wasn't even important at the time. I just needed a place to write about my employers' amazing lifestyles, and to blow off steam from time to time at their occasionally shocking behaviors.

But all that has changed. Soon enough I began to realize that beyond my own circles there's a real interest in the way rich people live, how they spend all that money, and what they do with themselves in their daily lives. With just word of mouth advertising and Google search engines, there's over three-hundred-thousand readers to date, and the comments are in the thousands.

In fact it's the comments that have kept me going. Responding to readers from all around the globe has been the most unexpected fun of all, and has expanded the topics in ways I could have never dreamed of.

In any case, for this anniversary and the beginning of our fifth year, I can only say thank you so much for reading, and for your terrific comments that add to and explore our understanding of how the super rich live. Especially during these days when the divide between the rich and the poor are more scrutinized than ever.

I hope your new year is starting off well,

Andrew

  2. This is a blog in the grand old tradition of blogs - the posts are fun and often off-the-cuff, the audience participates, and the topic is unique. It's a combination not so easily found anymore.

    1. Hey Ben! Thanks for saying that! You've been around for a long while, and I've always enjoyed and appreciated the way you nuance and expand the topics. In fact one of your comments a while back about staying in Airbnb's when you travel is being incorporated into a future post about how some celebs and paranoid rich people avoid paparazzi whenever they travel.

      Hope your holidays were splendid and that all's well with you "Down Under". Andrew
