1/ I think this is actually quite common. It's just that you don't hear about it, other than a passing reference to so-and-so's "ranch". Harrison Ford (e.g.) isn't running that ranch alone. You can bet he's got a staff of 40+. Gardeners, cooks, horse trainers, maids, etc. https://twitter.com/mh_53j/status/995479624636284929 …

2/ Even at our level (totally not "the 1%", just two people w middle class jobs) we have 0.5-1.0 full-time-equivalent farmhands. Many mid tier CEOs, lawyers, and surgeons may very well have ~ 2. I'm sure that there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people w 5+.

3/ I read a book by some woodworker who was approached by a client. "What can I make for you?" "Well, I've got a 100 room mansion and need about 1,000 pieces of custom furniture. I want to hire you and have you staff up to 10 or 20 guys and work for me full time for 5 yrs"

4/ Guy turned it down bc it would be lucrative for 5 years...and then end. Meanwhile all his bread-and-butter clients who bought a piece every other year would vanish. But the point is: this strata exists, and we normal people NEVER her about it.

5/ I see the merest hints of it. E.g. I'll watch a video of a guy building a boat and he talks to another boat builder who was part of a 50 person crew building a 200' yacht.

6/ The hiring, firing, supply chains, etc. don't intersect w our world at all, except very slightly.
