J-Lo Definitely Pays Low
Despite her massive success, Jennifer Lopez isn’t known for being a generous employer. In fact, she pays her housekeepers far less than the standard rate but demands a high level of service that keeps her home looking spotless.
Housekeepers have claimed that J-Lo’s past struggles really affected her money mentality. As someone who had to fight her way to the top, she now believes everyone should have to struggle before they’re successful. It’s an interesting idea, but you can’t expect much loyalty or commitment from employees who aren’t making much money.

Michael Gandolfini, son of The Sopranos’ James Gandolfini, is super proud of his father’s career. How do we know? Because he asked his housekeeper to meticulously clean his Sopranos box set. Beyond utilizing Michael’s specific instructions and high-quality cleaning ingredients, the housekeeper also had to wait for her employer to inspect her work before she was allowed to return home.
The job sounds completely annoying. However, it’s also the result of a proud son looking after his father’s legacy. How could we fault him for that?
Victor Oladipo Is Very Sensitive to Scent
Indiana Pacers point guard Victor Oladipo doesn’t expect too much from his housekeeper. To hear her tell the story, however, her former employer was basically a tyrant. Why? Because he asked her to clean his house again.
While at dinner with a friend, the housekeeper told her companion that Victor came home from a game, didn’t like the state of his house, and asked her to clean it again. Apparently, the basketball player expects a certain scent from his surroundings. While re-doing your work is annoying, it’s far from the worst thing a housekeeper can be asked to do.
