Woman makes $140,000 cleaning up after Penn students
Kia Katrina Grasty likely makes more than some University of Pennsylvania professors. She does it by cleaning up after the students.
Since 2005, the 51-year-old has made a living at $140,000 by picking up after some of the sloppiest students in Philadelphia.
The Daily Beast has a profile of Grasty, whose clients include the children of actress Kim Delaney, designer Vera Wang and an heir to the Beverly Hilton. For her most loyal clients, Grasty will jump at their requests for a cleaning, sometimes in the middle of the night.
All the dirty work results in designer clothes, a luxury car and a strange little family of messy ivy league students.
