Power and wealth go hand in hand, especially for famous people. While many superstars are just like us, living normal lives with modest needs, some have such large egos that they need armies of people to serve them. While the rest of us are stuck to our work, celebrities with excess cash may pay others to do the menial activities they despise.
Unfortunately, many have gone too far with this. These celebrities have hired individuals to undertake extraordinary and outlandish things that most of us would find hard to believe if we weren't witnessing them daily. These are the kinds of outlandish tasks that famous individuals often engage others to complete for them; presumably, their experiences have been more positive than those described in these celebrity personal assistant horror stories.

Having worked for Lady Gaga as a personal assistant, Jennifer O'Neill filed a lawsuit against the singer in 2013 for unpaid overtime. Ms. O'Neill made other claims about Lady Gaga's overbearing requests, including that she had to share a bed with her employer.
The Lady did not enjoy "sleeping alone," so she delegated the responsibility of warming her bed to the warm body over which she exercised the greatest influence: her personal attendant. So, if you're a rising star who likes to spoon, you might want to think about working for Lady Gaga.

Nothing is more essential to singer and musician Rod Stewart when performing live than getting enough sleep.

Many people would consider Mariah Carey the quintessential example of a star that is too demanding to work with, given her diva-like persona. In 2008, it was revealed that the singer employs an attendant whose sole duty is to accompany her about and deliver her beverages only served to bolster this perception. Carey's voice coach Carrie Grant claims the mystery lady keeps a straw handy to ensure the starlet never smudges her makeup.

As someone who has spearheaded many initiatives encouraging women to invest in well-fitting bras, it stands to reason that Oprah would view this as a matter of great importance.
