Demand: Her Assistant to be ready to throw away her chewing gum
Cost of Demand: $50,000*
Mariah Carey, a celebrated diva, is known for her superstar persona, demanding a bottle of champagne and bendy straws for sipping, alongside expecting an assistant—a request that comes across as reasonable but isn’t typical.

Marie Claire reveals that Carey’s assistant has a unique role: disposing of her gum. This peculiar task is compensated well, illustrating Carey’s distaste for touching gum, even if it’s hers.
