Erica Jackowitz Runs 24/7 Leisure Service for 10 Families at $150,000 a Year

Summary
$150,000 a year buys Jackowitz's ultrawealthy clients direct 24/7 access to her lifestyle-management firm, which limits itself to about 10-12 families.
Her company handles nearly every leisure task—travel, homes, yachts, planes, cars and events—aiming to save clients time and act as an advocate rather than a commission-driven travel agent.
Recent requests ranged from reworking travel so clients could get to New York for the Knicks to rescuing friends from an uncomfortable yacht trip in the Mediterranean by helicopter.
Jackowitz says the work rarely stops, with late-night flight disruptions, last-minute restaurant bookings and elaborate private parties blurring any line between her job and personal life.
That always-on model now shapes where she lives and works: she spends summers in Europe because many clients do, turning hotel cabanas into offices to stay on site and in time zone.
