the protection the higher the cost as well a good bodyguard like Kendricks doesn't come cheap and they can ask for whatever salary that they think their services are worth unlike most industries the idea of a base salary doesn't really apply generally the more famous the client is the more risk the bodyguard takes on by agreeing to protect them and in turn the fatter the paychecks for the most part celebrities will pay anywhere from $100,000 to over a million dollars per year to keep paparazzi drooling fans and the occasional crazy stalker at bay Floyd Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters ever boasting an immaculate undefeated professional fight record of 50 you know with 27 knockouts along the way but even though this former boxer can hold his own in the ring against any opponent we could possibly throw at him it doesn't mean he's on his toes 24/7 everyone needs their downtime family time and moments of relaxation and during those moments Floyd and

actually like to work as a bodyguard gregg LaRosa has the answer quote we're there for floyd 24/7 if he feels like going to the movies he calls so I gotta be there it's not a job for everyone no sleep we're travelling here there we're always on the move and quote if Floyd Mayweather isn't the most famous modern fighter then it's the controversial featherweight King the notorious Irishman Conor McGregor after receiving a number of intimidating threats in 2016 Conor was forced to beef up his personal security team creating around-the-clock security personnel schedule Conor earned around 100 million dollars alone for fighting Floyd Mayweather jr. in August of 2017 so he's got plenty of money to throw around in the name of protection a lot of that cold hard cash goes to two of his trusty bodyguards nicknamed Rocky and Drago after the characters in the Rocky films when Conor attended the vip-style awards in Dublin one of them even waited directly outside the toilets when he nipped in for a quick break despite an overly friendly crowd the bodyguards didn't let him out of their sight for even a minute and anyone requesting a photo was required to go through them first what about weapons are these bodyguards armed the answer is sometimes in the USA local and state laws dictate who may be armed and where they may be armed one anonymous bodyguards told cosmopolitan that a weapon is merely one tool in the toolbox quote what I make sure I have with me day in and day out when providing protection is a portable medical kit statistically speaking the client is much more likely to trip over a wire backstage and suffer a sprained ankle then get descended upon by snipers and quote snipers might be unrealistic but robbery is not kim kardashian learned that firsthand in paris back in 2016 the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was the victim of armed robbery during Paris Fashion Week when masked men stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from her in the middle of the night including an exclusive four million dollar ring that incident resulted in serious ramifications for Kim's chunked up body pascale doovy heir who was sued for negligence after failing to protect his employer at the time of the robbery Pascal was out at a Paris nightclub protecting Kim's sisters Kourtney and Kendall knowing that do you really think it's fair that he was sued we don't either way after that scare Kim and Kanye left no stone unturned in the name of security and protection allegedly the duo pays over seven million dollars a year for bodyguards as for Pascal it didn't take long for him to find another employer he was seen working with Fergie on the set of her new music video shortly after Kim and Kanye let him go it's not uncommon for bodyguards to bounce around from one celebrity to another celebrities will often recommend their bodyguards to other celebrities this is peter van der Veen a former dutch policeman a former mr. Europe from 2005 a chiseled bodybuilder and an esteemed bodyguard who's worked with two icons of the music industry Adele and Lady gaga most of the time bodyguards subtly blend into the background taking no attention away from the celebs they've been hired to protect well that's not quite the case with Peter van der Veen the internet has blown up in fandom with people tweeting things like quote although I love the new Adele album I think I'm more obsessed with her bodyguard as well as quote hello Adele's bodyguard it's me with his impressive height broad shoulders and blue eyes Peter brings in more attention than the average security employee but being eye candy of course isn't the reason he's so sought-after he's exceptionally good at his job and has guarded other celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Paris Hilton in the past as well if there's any music icon that's in need of some serious protection its Snoop Dogg or snoop lion if you prefer the West Coast based rapper and producer has a net worth of a hundred and fifty million dollars making him one of the richest rappers in the world combine that with the fact that he's been the target of multiple assaults and it's easy to understand why he employs so many giant protectors seriously take a look at these guys they are huge these bodyguards have frames almost double the size of Snoop and they've been seen protecting him both onstage by quickly pushing off any fan who climbs up without permission and out in the wider world there's no doubt about it these intimidating dudes are not to be poked and prodded even though Harry Potter has the magical know how to defend himself against dark wizards and all sorts of sinister creatures in the real-world the actor behind the Boy Who Lived needs to rely on good old-fashioned personal muggle security for protection since finishing up the Harry Potter series Daniels face has become as recognizable as anybody's in the industry with an incomprehensible number of fans waiting to get as close as possible and stopping at nothing to do it Radcliffe isn't a large man by any means just five feet five inches he pales in comparison to his mammoth of a bodyguard named Sam standing at 190 centimeters tall or close to 6 foot 3 Sam has not only received attention for his ability to protect but also for his ability to charm the cameras the internet has swooned over his good looks and yet most of his identity remains a mystery some believe that the reason for the lack of information is that he has a history as a secret agent there aren't too many faces more identifiable than that of Daniel Radcliffe but there is perhaps one and that's the face of the President of the United States of America a country is only as strong as its president and when you're leading the most powerful country on Earth with a politically divided population of 330 million every waking moment is a potential threat that's why the president employs the Secret Service a group of expertly trained individuals who constantly scan for imminent danger these guys are armed and dangerous and have the power and authorization to take down any perceived attacker we've actually got an entire video about the inner workings of the Secret Service what do the tens of millions of taxpayers dollars go toward check out the video link provided in the description to find out this is Michael Mikey Arana one of the many frightening body guards that Justin Bieber has employed during the decade that he's been the music world's center of attention Mikey is proficient with weapons towers above justin has biceps the size of tree trunks and is clearly not a man that is willing to be messed with however as Justin has grown older so has his fans and Mikey's approach to protecting the young pop star has changed along the way in Mikey's own words quote I remember when I first started with him it may sound crazy but three or four little girls they have so much strength they would literally rip his shirt take off his hoodie and if it's a big crowd you could lose him in that crowd quote so as you can tell my keys work is just as much about protecting Justin from threats as it is about protecting him from overzealous fans himself looking like a young Hugh Jackman Katy Perry's bodyguard often manages to steal the spotlight not because of his bulking muscles but because of his very own Hollywood style looks while his identity has remained much of a secret his presence has not Katy Perry's bodyguard is regularly spoken of online as one of the most handsome and
