16. I would think that she probably has a "house manager" for each and every home they own.

They do the job of driving kids to school, buying groceries, taking care of the dry-cleaning and coordinating what ever services are required from vairous professionals including plumbers, electricians, cleaning people, taking care of the kids and pets. I know people that don't have as much $$ as Rmoney and they certainly have house managers and don;t so much as clean their own toilets. If Ann Rmoney has ever performed any sort of physical labor, it was because she wanted to, not because she had to.
