How Much Do Celebrities Pay Their Cleaners?

Have you ever wondered how much celebrities shell out to keep their mansions spotless?

According to salary data, the going rate for celebrity housekeepers and cleaners is quite a bit higher than your average maid service.

Salary ranges for celebrity cleaners vary depending on location and experience level. In California, which has a high concentration of celebrities, the average hourly pay for a celebrity housekeeper is $17 according to ZipRecruiter.

However, salaries can range from around $13 per hour on the low end to over $25 per hour for the highest paid celebrity cleaners in the state. Celebrity assistants, who often take on cleaning duties in addition to other household management tasks, make even more. Pocketbook Agency breaks celebrity assistants into several salary tiers:

• Low-range assistants make up to $40,000 per year

• Mid-range assistants earn $40,000-$80,000 annually

• High-range celebrity assistants pull in $80,000-$150,000

• Ultra-high-range assistants to A-list stars can make $150,000-$250,000+

Of course, salary is only part of the compensation package for many celebrity cleaners and domestic staff. Bonuses, paid time off, health insurance, and even free luxury housing are common perks. The most elite celebrity assistants may be gifted a car and driver according to Seattle Green Cleaning Fairy.

Indeed.com data shows cleaners at Celebrity Cleaners, a company that serves high-profile clients, make an average of $34.18 per hour. That's nearly 150% above the national average for housekeepers.

So while $20-25 per hour may sound like a lot to pay someone to clean your house, that's actually on the low end for celebrities! With multiple sprawling estates to maintain and busy schedules, it's no wonder the rich and famous are willing to pay top dollar for skilled and trustworthy cleaning staff. For those serving A-list clientele, six-figure salaries are not unheard of in the world of celebrity housekeeping.
