Re: I Stop Celebrities from Blowing Their Money
#3A long time ago, in a job (thankfully) far far away I had to have a fair bit of interaction with famous people.
Some of them are crazy - one of the artists (now dead) demanded "more goat heads" on his project. This was an actual client request.
I still do take pride in getting one of the most difficult clients in the roster to admit we did a "good job".
Famous people can be weird, and some do really exist in their own special bubble.

#4The actor that "died suddenly" sounds like it might have been Anton Yelchin.

Yes, the tone is well done. Sort of a “let me give this to you straight” message. Sort of subtweety in referencing real clients.

#6"I charge a 5 percent commission rate, which is pretty standard"
5 percent of what?

He did a great job in Odd Thomas. That movie got too little attention. I say that not even knowing about the book. Interesting enough, one person who watched it with me yawning or nearly falling asleep during most of it was at edge of couch during last scenes. They totally flipped its style on audience.
I'll remember him that way in a movie where he played a great character dedicated to entertaining and protecting the rest. :)

I presume it’s their income, or assets under management. Pretty sweet deal if so compared to the 2-and-20 a lot of investment managers make.

Yea that's kind of key. 5% of total income for financial advising seems a bit steep, BUT if they're a high risk of spending it all on hookers and blackjack then maybe it's best for them?
I'd rather see 5% go towards financial education in schools, but hey, then this person would be out of a job.

I think financial managers usually charge a percentage of assets managed.
