Celebrities spend millions of dollars per year to keep themselves and their properties safe. For instance, early this year, Business Insider reported that rapper 50 Cent spends $70,000 a month to secure his 52-room Connecticut mansion. The total amount he spends annually to secure his properties and for personal security is cross to $1.6 million.
As you can see, protecting celebrities today is much more than physically shielding them from harm by rogue fans or enemies. It encompasses a broad range of services such as close protection, preventing unwanted intrusions and property protection.
If your mandate as a security leader is to protect celebrities, here are key fundamentals you need to keep in mind.
Conducting Risk Analysis
The first step you need to take is to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis. There are several questions you will need to ask as part of the risk analysis. Does the client regularly travel to dangerous places? Has there been a history of security threats against the celebrity? What kind of security threat is your client most venerable? This step requires full cooperation from the celebrity to make a strong case for protection.
Protection of Property
According to the recent news published on news.co.au, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint of $14 million in jewels and phones. You should, therefore, ensure the celebrity's personal and work devices are secure. All sensitive data on those devices should also be encrypted using powerful data encryption software. For home protection, you can hire highly-trained security detail and install high-tech systems such as digital fingerprint identification and motion-triggered cameras.
Educate Celebrities About Possible Threats
Many fans do not have bad intentions, but your mandate as a security leader is to educate your client about potential security threats they may face. You can start with security awareness training to help them determine a real risk from just a typical fan.

Many people envy the celebrity lifestyle, but few people understand the danger that comes with their fame. For instance, according to Mercury News, "late rapper, Nipsey Hussle went to his clothing store without security to help his friend get new clothes and was murdered". Incidents like these heighten the need for celebrity security protection. In fact, a personal bodyguard is different from security and work differently to meet celebrity needs, but have a few similarities. A security guard protects people and property while a bodyguard works to protect an individual.

You may think your special event won't attract protests. In this increasingly political age, though, more people are willing to physically gather to voice their thoughts about people, nonprofit organizations and special interest groups that are even just loosely connected to a political cause. In fact, a Washington Post poll found that 1 in 5 Americans have participated in some sort of political rally or protest since 2016.
Reducing Risks From Protestors
Your special event doesn't even have to be promoting a controversial cause; perhaps one of your guests or attendees has attracted attention on a recent issue. That could be enough to draw protesters. (Just one example from this year: Crowds gathered outside an international auto show's charity preview event to protest one automaker's decision to close local plants.) In today's political climate, it's clear that you simply can't take a chance with security at your upcoming event.
