Also included in expenses are his families expenses. When his wife and four children travel with him, which is mostly, they each have rooms and one valet between them. So rooms are needed for two valets (Patrick Mckraken and an Italian chap) , his secretary (Kathy Gliebe), at least two drivers on call, a room for cordinating the personal area(Az Tasi and her team of four. They clean his room before he comes, and during visit, as hotel staff must not clean his rooms.) They get food from restaurants and drive and get whatever he needs.When the family is near at least two more vehicles are required. He has a back up vehicle which follows his car with two people in.Also his security which really is no more than making sure the cars are clean and ready.(Rene and Ruben usually do this, picking up fortunate volounteers on route. Peter Dawson and Steve Harrowell are his drivers in the UK)
Then we have the dog. This means he will only stay in suites which have a balcony for the dog.It travels to events in his car and is usually back stage for him to hug when he leaves the stage. He has been unable to stay in the UK the last couple of years as the dog is not allowed in.
The mistress then becomes a photographer and moves to another hotel when his wife is travelling. The mistress also then cannot fly with him in the GV but goes business class on commercial airlines.
The above situation incurs a bill over 4 days of approximately $50,000 and the community concerned picks up the tab although via EV as donations.
