Gloria Richards, 34, works as a&nbsp;nanny for the children of the uber-rich&nbsp;when she doesn't perform on off-Broadway stages.&nbsp;In an interview with CNBC, Richards discussed the pros and cons&nbsp;of her job as a nanny.

She mentioned that&nbsp;her lucrative job as a nanny for&nbsp;billionaire's children&nbsp;pays her $2,000 (Rs 1.6 lakh) per&nbsp;day. What's more? She gets to travel the world in private planes with fully covered&nbsp;accommodation. She claims that caring for the children of billionaires accounts for 80 per cent&nbsp;to 90 per cent&nbsp;of her annual income.

Richards said, "I could nanny for, like, two months at the top of the year, and I'd be fine for the rest of the year," Richards, 34, tells CNBC Make It. "What feeds me is being able to work so closely with these kids."

She explained her work description by saying that nannying for the ultra-rich isn't necessarily about childcare. She stated that she spends the most of her working hours managing the school and social schedules of her children. She recalls being introduced to her charge only minutes before becoming an attendant on a private jet flight to Barbados.

<h2>Hefty compensation</h2>

She is compensated $2,000 for 12 to 15 hours of work. She said that she travels the world on private aircraft and yachts, drives Porsches and Teslas for work, and attends toddler birthday parties where iPads are given out as party favours.

"I've had full-blown interviews where [parents] are like, 'We're looking for someone to raise our kids,'" she said.&nbsp;

"They tell me they had kids to pass on their trust funds, [and that] 'I'll hang out with them after boarding school when they can drink," she added.

However, she said that working with billionaires has its own set of difficulties, particularly for a Black woman nannying white children. She stated that she must manage cultural situations with sensitivity or risk losing her job.

"I'll be in, like, Switzerland, and they're telling me they can't pay me for three weeks because they don't have cash,"&nbsp;Richards said&nbsp;

"That's also how they communicate when they don't like something you did. They'll stop paying you," she continued.

It's difficult for Richards to maintain her mental health while dealing with unpredictable client mood changes.

"I've had families go through an immense amount of grief in the public eye. I'm watching their divorces or deaths within the family.&nbsp;Sometimes I'm literally a shoulder to cry on. A second later, they'll turn on me," she added.

Big fat paycheck! US woman earns ₹1.6 lakh ($2,000) per day by nannying billionaires' kids

The Gupta family agreed to sell their South African mining unit for $225 million on Wednesday, the second disposal this week from the company&#39;s portfolio of investments which have been caught up in an influence-peddling scandal.

The sale by the Gupta&#39;s Oakbay vehicle is part of plans announced a year ago to sell all their businesses in South Africa, after companies including the country&#39;s four largest banks severed links with Oakbay, citing reputational risks.

The Gupta family, business friends of President Jacob Zuma, are accused of using their links with the 75-year old leader to wield undue influence and win lucrative state contracts. Both Zuma and the family deny any wrongdoing.

Oakbay said it would sell Tegeta Exploration and Resources, whose mines supply coal to South African state-owned power utility Eskom, for 2.97 billion rands ($225 million) to a Swiss-based company called Charles King SA.

The sale is the second this week by Oakbay, which said on Monday it had agreed to sell its stakes in the New Age newspaper and the ANN7 television news channel to Zuma ally and former government spokesman Mzwanele Manyi.

Oakbay has been searching for a banking partner after Indian-based Bank of Baroda said it would also cut links with the Guptas at the end of this month.

The Guptas, who are in business with Zuma&#39;s son Duduzane, have said stepping aside as owners would help the company restore banking relations and preserve jobs.

Charles King is a little-known Lausanne-based company listed by Switzerland&#39;s company register Moneyhouse as involved in trading in clothes and shoes. Oakbay said it had been acquired by Amin Al Zarooni, who it said was a leading businessman in the United Arab Emirates, as a special purpose vehicle for investments such as Tegeta.

&quot;Mining is an excellent growth sector on the continent and with this acquisition, our expansion plans on the African continent kick start,&quot; Oakbay quoted Al Zarooni as saying.

To underscore his credentials, Oakbay also set out a list of what it said were his global commodity businesses and said he was an active participant in global private equity markets.

The deal with Charles King has the support of mines minister Mosebenzi Zwane. &quot;The Department welcomes the undertaking to save employees&#39; jobs in Tegeta&#39;s various operations,&quot; his office said in a statement.

The three Gupta brothers moved to South Africa from India at the end of apartheid rule in the mid-1990s and went on to build a business empire stretching from technology to mining.

They are now embroiled in a scandal which has drawn in several international companies, including Germany&#39;s SAP, and deepened a divide in the ruling African National Congress, with some senior members calling for Zuma to resign.
