V.I.Ps and their personal life.

I don't think being a V.I.P. is always a pleasant thing and it definitely has its disadvantages;honestly,I wouldn't be happy at all if I had to be surrounded by security staff and I couldn't get out and enjoy a simple walk in the city without any restrictions.I guess I would reach the moment when I would prefer to run away to a remote island rather than have to live with all that pressure every day,so I really don't want to be powerful,I prefer my life as it is and I leave others who are willing to accept this lifestyle to make their way to power and fame.

I certainly would not like to live such a life but the people that do are getting something they crave more than privacy. It might be fame, power, money, influence or all these things but they are willing to give up a lot for one or all of these. None of those benefits is worth the loss of independence and privacy, in my opinion. Everyone is different, though, and so are their values.

Personally most of them have had to work their way up in the company in order to be where they are. Occassionally it seems to happen just because they might know someone, but personally most of the time it a lot by what you know, and showing you are capable. There are many times I would not want to lead a high position in something unless I always remember where I came from, and help those who might be hurting. Otherwise many times those jobs are not all what they seem cut out to be for sure.

I don’t think VIPs feels hampered in any way by the constant security around them…they rather enjoy the attention. They would cease to be VIPs if they were not in the limelight constantly. That’s why you’ll see they are always trying to rake up one issue or the other, some controversy, some exclusive gossip…all these makes the media hound them and they stay in the centrestage.

Hello, It is cost of fame and power that they enjoy. You asking only for VIP but you don't know that general public suffer a lot because of these VIP's security. Life of every one is important.

I guess, everything has its price, even being so powerful. You may be powerful, but you worry about you and your famliy's safety at all times, that's why you have to be with bodyguards also. I bet, those powerful ones couldn't even sleep well at night for fear of someday being robbed of your power or position. I would rather be an ordinary guy than a powerful one, but constantly fearful of his life.

Before, I always wished to be one of those VIPs having to wave in a large crowd as they cheer for your presence (was thinking like I am this famous actress in Hollywood). But they have price to pay. Cameras everywhere. Paparrazzi. No freedom. Forced to do something out of your will. Many things actually. And then the scandals. The negative write ups. Everywhere you go you are the subject of the gossip. Criticized because what you wear doesn't suit and should have worn this instead. I might be in a financial struggle right now but I would never trade my life to be one of those VIPs. I love my life. I will not be a hypocrite though with my "what ifs" but it's a good wishful thinking.

Because their are so many weirdos and psychos in the world now and for security reasons due to this fact V.I.P.'s do need these large numbers of security people. Personal life is hampered and it all comes with the life style. It is too bad that there isn't a better way but there isn't.

hi didi, you are right,they are fixed in a circle,they can move only in that circle,just like a dog tied with chain and the chain with masters hand, according to that he has to move,he cannot movely free,what is the use of the status when they does not have the liberty,so simple man with enough money is best than the power,have a nice day

Execellent post, the question is, do they really have a personal life. Becuase they are always followed and guarded and there is no time to be free and have privacy. I think they do not know what privacy and personal life is.

We can't really tell, it may seem so unnatural to us but it's the way they might have known their lives to be...some might feel their not truly free while some might not mind the security at all...and their security doesn't really dictate them what to do, they just follow them... Though I could never envision my life being like that...I'd hate being crowded...

I think sometime to the people of VIP feel that it's worth it. There is so much you can say, but I'm going to try to keep it short. What's great about being a VIP is you have the opportunity to do things beyond yourself, and to get to that level unfortunately your privacy gets taken away. I know there are ways that people keep there personal life private but yes it can be difficult, but think ultimately they're grateful because they have the opportunity many dream of.

your topic reminds me of this old sayings: the more rich you are, the more not-free you are. the limited personal life of VIPs actually stems from the fear of losing the money itself. if you are getting richer and richer, you may be unconsciously scared that somehow someday you will lose most of your wealth and live the bad life as poor person. this fear makes you want to do anything to protect and raise your wealth. as power and money are related much to each other, I think we must be wise to manage these 2 things so that we can enjoy them instead of making them limit our own personal life. first, we should believe that God gives us power and money to do good things to other people and that we have the right to enjoy our power and money. we should believe that our power and money is safe as long as we do good things to other people and in our business. we must trust people, of course with good risk calculation. we must believe that our hard work will bring so much money and power, more than we ever needed, which will not make us poor in the rest of our lives. then we will be peaceful in the rest of our life. it is possible to be powerful and rich without having our personal life limited.
