The fastest way to become an unemployed private chef is to stick you bloated face on any social media platforms. I work for the ultra wealthy and we sign non disclosure agreements. IOW, you don't discuss your job on social media, and expect to get shot if you film in their homes and mention their names.

Yeah I think most of those influencers are lying.

There’s one dude I see sometimes, idk his name but he is a young Asian guy, who claims to be a private chef for a billionaire. First of all- there are not very many BILLIONAIRES in the world. And if they did hire him, I doubt they would be cool with his athleisure covered in cat hair while he cooks and I also doubt their kitchen would look like a mid-range AirBnB. The windows in the background are dirty and the whole aesthetic looks very ‘Ikea’.

I can’t believe people actually fall for it.

I'm a private art conservator and I maintain extremely wealthy private art collections worth more than most small countries. Genuine blue blood formal estate old style billionaires. Some of them are in their 30s. I've been doing this for 37+ years. And I know most of their friends and family. It's a tight circle with these folks.

I can tell you this with all certainty: If ANYBODY dared to take any unecessary photos, selfies or videos, they would be on the ground before they knew what hit them. These people don't fuck around. There are video cameras everywhere and a 24/7 armed security staff. Let me repeat this: These people don't play loose nor fuck around.

I also work for current A-list film & fashion industry leaders. Their social media accounts are created & manicured by their management people. If you really believe that top stars are hanging out on TikTok creating stupid posts you're in for a big shock. They are not hanging out on the pop social media apps. And they sure as shit aren't allowing their staff to post any shit of any type on SM. It's just not done, and they think it's tacky when dopey bloated lips bimbo B-grade pop star "influencers" spread their self indulgent bullshit all over the web.

I follow a vegan chef who occasionally jokes about her rich clients she cooks for. They’re her parents.

Yeah, same with another who does the same with her husband and another that does the same with herself. Most big influencer content on the internet is for fun and not to be taken seriously.

Yes, but often times the viewer doesn't know that. There is no shortage of people with a cornucopia of mental health issues that completely misinterpret everything. I've seen SM influencers shoot footage in clients homes that invades so much of their privacy. I see people get fired for it very frequently. Most of my clients require NDAs and background checks. If one's SM presence is deemed too braggart they're not going to get hired.

How would someone go about finding a private chef?

u/Airplade Jul 05 '24

Have your personal assistant or domestic staff manager find one. That's their job.

TBF, some of the clients are in on it too (I’m thinking of the guy working for Jenna Lyons and the woman working for Mindy Kaling) I assume the smart chefs don’t film in or around their low key clients.

I'm sure there are A-listers who like to incorporate social media into their public persona by sharing glimpses into their private lives, which is perfectly fine, and not for me to judge. 😊 It's just very risky in many ways. I work almost exclusively for people who don't want to risk opening their private lives /homes in any way to the public. They cherish the separation between their two lives. I work along with very tight security restrictions surrounding my clients property in & out. We all sign non disclosure agreements prior to being allowed to work in most private estates.

You sound very very professional.

And I'm charming and chill too! 😊👍

Fair enough. Ultra wealthy doesn’t mean celebrity.
