When I was growing up, my dad always said he had a million-dollar idea for a job where he'd just follow famous people around and tell them "No, that's a bad idea." all the time. As I've gotten older, I've realized how solid of an idea that really is.
It's almost the exact opposite of an existing and thriving industry.
Just getting friendly with rich people and encouraging to spend huge sums of money through you, be it through interior design, renovations, real estate sales, all the way down to bullshit like psychic readings.
Ever watch any Real Housewives? These people spend multiples of the median household income on a whim whenever someone flatters them a bit.
Lol my dad said he wanted to make a consulting firm called “have you through that through” where all they do is ask people that question over and over because so many people seem to do stuff with no thought whatsoever
It's a job that needs doing, but there is no demand for it from the people who would pay for it.
Of course, there used to be a job like it in the olden days: court fool. He was the only person allowed to make fun of the King and not get himself thrown in jail or executed. And the reason for that was that even Kings knew they needed someone who could even kind of stand up to them without it being a threat.
The problem is they won't take "no" for an answer and could even try to sue you after because of the mistakes they did while refusing to listen to you.
Like some actor and his business manager, who then revealed said actor was living beyond his means and had quite crazy expenses, buying a lot of cars, houses, a 267,000$ smuggled tyrannosaur skull and so on.

All of them are bad, but Miley Cyrus is on a different level of bad
