> None of the items you mentioned cost much

The average private driver salary's in NYC is about 60k a year according to Google btw[0]. The average yearly -household- income in the US is 68k.

It's a massive luxury to be able to afford such a thing.

Presumably this would be a perk provided by Airbnb directly rather than employed by the CEO himself?

Uber XL or black (need space and comfort to work efficiently) for 1 hour a day probably adds up to $200/day or around $50k/year. Which isn't cheap.

edit: That's a rough estimate and probably a low estimate. You'd be using Uber for commuting, going to work social events, driving kids on weekends, driving out of the city on vacation, etc.

Wow, that's crazy. I pay 28000USD/yr in London, most of my friends pay about the same.
