You \u2013 yes, YOU reading this \u2013 do you have a private chef? Probably not. You also probably make similar money to WNBA<\/a> star, Cameron Brink.\u00a0<\/p>\n I’m not just pulling that number out of my you-know-what, by the way. The average income for an American in 2025 was around $65k. Cameron Brink’s salary last year was around $78K, before those miserable California taxes. God, that place is horrible. I will never leave Florida. I don’t know what Cameron’s take-home money was in 2025, but I’d imagine it was around $70K. Probably less, if I’m being honest, but let’s just say $70K.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anyway, I say all of that to ask this \u2026<\/p>\n Would you hire a private chef that costs $7k a month on that salary?\u00a0<\/p>\n This was probably avoidable\u00a0<\/p>\n “I’m like, my contract is 70K. We cannot be doing that,” she said on her podcast with Sydel Curry-Lee. “That is more than my salary. That is more than my salary.”<\/p>\n My God. Just amazing. I don’t even know where to begin. Truly, I have no clue.\u00a0<\/p>\n For starters, how do you hire a private chef without seemingly knowing what they charge? Shouldn’t that come up in the interview?\u00a0<\/p>\n “What’s your salary?”<\/p>\n “7K a month.”<\/p>\n “OK, well, thank you for your time.”<\/p>\n Seems like an easy way to avoid the situation. But what do I know?\u00a0<\/p>\n
