9 Jobs That Pay You to Have Fun

5) Luxury Property Caretaker

People who lead the lives of the rich and famous usually spend lots of time traveling the world. After all, they have to enjoy their jet-set fancy lifestyles. Wouldn’t it be fun to stay in their homes while they are gone? You can, because they need to pay someone to stay at their home and care for it in their absence. Those homes may be oceanfront villas, ski resort getaways, European mansions, or upscale downtown penthouses. There are even people who will pay you $45,000 or more per year to reside on a private island and watch over it while they’re gone. Most of the time the fun job also entitles you to use amenities like swimming pools and vehicles, just like a billionaire’s guest.
