Gen Z Nanny Says She Makes $150,000–$250,000 Working for Billionaire Family

Her story underscores rising demand for luxury domestic roles driven by expanding billionaire wealth.

Overview

  • Cassidy O’Hagan, 28, left a roughly $65,000 orthopedic medical sales job in 2021 and returned to nannying, saying the switch more than doubled her earnings.
  • She says she now earns between $150,000 and $250,000 under a nondisclosure agreement, with employer-paid private-jet travel and seasonal stays in Aspen and the Hamptons.
  • Reported benefits include a 401(k), healthcare, paid time off, meals from a private chef, and a dedicated nanny wardrobe.
  • Forbes and UBS data cited in the coverage note global billionaires now exceed 3,000 and the number of households with $1–$5 million has quadrupled to 52 million over 25 years.
  • A 2025 Deloitte survey found only 6% of Gen Z aim for leadership roles, and an Empower poll shows high salary expectations, as US hiring slows and AI reshapes corporate jobs.
