The hard work of being really, really, big time rich

For example, one person I know loves to do maintenance and repair work on outboard motorboats and wooden daysailers, so in the tiny boathouse he built for himself there is a specific area designated for sanding, epoxying, and painting the hulls of boats. But, in order to make any on progress on these particular kinds of repairs, full-time attention is required. The owner solves the problem of the demand for extra labor by having staff come in and do all necessary prep work on off hours, when they cannot be seen or heard. There are even strict written guidelines outlining the punishment staff members can expect if they appear at the boathouse when the owner is in residence.
