Two square kilometres, more billionaires per capita than anywhere on earth. The households here are small but exacting — staff need to be discreet and exceptionally polished.
Monaco's two square kilometres house more billionaires per capita than anywhere on earth. The market is tiny but exacting. French language is essential - even British families expect their Monaco staff to communicate with local suppliers in French.
Many staff commute from Nice or Menton because Monaco accommodation is scarce and expensive. The seasonal influx during the Grand Prix and summer yacht season creates massive staffing pressure. Apartments in the Carré d'Or require completely different logistics than Les Jardins Exotiques villas.
Discretion isn't just expected, it's legally protected by strict Monaco privacy laws. We've placed butlers and housekeepers for principals in Monte Carlo and Fontvieille.
Salaries here reflect the cost of living — expect to pay 20-30% above London rates for equivalent roles.
