Gene Simmons Charges $12,000 for Fans to Become His Assistant.
If you've ever been curious about the salaries of celebrity assistants, get ready to shell out a hefty sum if you want to help Gene Simmons with his daily tasks. The KISS lead singer is asking fans for $12,000 a day to be his personal assistant.
The opportunity was advertised as the “Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience” and is being offered during his upcoming tour with the Gene Simmons Band. “You will meet up with Gene and GS band members early in the day (either at his hotel or designated location) to go over the Band’s Show day schedule,” the description on the band’s website reads.
There’s just one “experience” available for each concert stop, so fans who want in need to jump on it fast. But be ready to shell out $12,495.
The lucky winner will score a bunch of cool merch as part of the package, like a crew member shirt, a hat, and a VIP badge. Plus, they’ll receive a bass guitar signed by the rockstar himself.
Gene, who’s 75, also offers to grab a meal with the fan, either backstage or at their hotel. They’ll get to chill with the band and crew backstage and even sit in on the sound check. For select shows, there’s a chance to join Gene and the band on stage. The website promises, “You will find that Gene Simmons is very down-to-earth, funny and knowledgeable on almost any subject,”.

However, the advertisement also warns there’s work involved, even though the fan is the one who’ll be paying. They’re expected to “arrive & load-in to the venue with the Band” and “help the band set up for the show.”
Gene Simmons boasts a net worth of $400 million, thanks in large part to his impressive music career. Part of his success might also come from offering fans some truly unique (and pricey) experiences.
For those fans with deeper pockets, there's a chance to own a piece of KISS history – Gene's old mansion is back on the market for $33 million. It was originally listed in 2023 for $48 million but was taken off the market due to low interest.
Gene purchased the property for just over $1 million back in 1984 and sold it to developer Max Nobel for $16 million in 2021. Since then, the estate has seen major renovations, which explains the price hike, but it still hasn't attracted a new buyer.
Gene Simmons continues to offer fans one-of-a-kind experiences, blending his rock star status with a down-to-earth charm. His $12,000 assistant offer provides a unique opportunity to not only get behind-the-scenes access to his iconic performances but also connect with him and his band on a personal level.
While the hefty price tag is not for everyone, those lucky enough to snag this experience will walk away with incredible memories and exclusive memorabilia. With his innovative approach to fan engagement and business, Gene Simmons proves why he's one of rock's most successful and savvy icons.
