Secret tricks of VIP fixers who rake in $15k (£11k) a month helping celebs find sun, sex and supercars
SMASHED-UP superyachts, four-day booze benders and whopping debts - the thrill-a-minute life of a VIP concierge has time for everything... apart from a good night's sleep.
Chris, 29, moved to the United Arab Emirates four years ago, tempted by the tax-free salaries and luxury living. And he says it is something most people could make a good living out of with a bit of nous, charm and luck. “What they don’t see is that I’ve had to live in a tiny maid’s room for a year because a reality star didn’t pay me the £13,000 bill he racked up on champagne and drugs.
He says: “I deal with really expensive experiences, so sometimes I have to stump up my own cash as I don’t want people to think I’m a fraud. Helicopter rides, boozy brunches, supercar rentals - they all cost money. In thrill-a-minute Dubai, money can buy you anything if you know the right people.The Burj Al Arab, Dubai, is a hot spotBut his work has sometimes left him having panic attacks and fearing jail when things go wrong.
The UAE is an Islamic country and has uber-strict laws on alcohol, drugs and public indecency. Chris says that some tourists arrive in Dubai believing boozing is illegal and women must dress conservatively, but are surprised when they see how liberal the desert city really is. The picture perfect Greek island of Mykonos has now firmly established itself as a rival to the UAE when it comes to A-list visitors.
I helped an international footballer out when he arrived here in summer and hired an expensive boat for him and his mates. But they got drunk and absolutely trashed it “It’s a millionaires’ playground, for sure, and while it generally attracts a higher-class crowd than most places, you still get plenty of people who take things too far.”
