Executive perks: enjoying what you've earned. (Executive Life).

How about a private chef? Kelly Anderson and his wife live in his employer's ski-in, ski-out home in Deer Valley. For Anderson, formerly a restaurant chef, "cooking for a house full of people is no big deal." He gets up at 6:00, prepares a breakfast buffet and soup for lunch, and hits the ski

Anderson specializes in Pacific Rim cuisine: fresh fish and vegetables with French flair and Asian flavors, such as ginger and soy sauce. But his "favorite dishes are home style." He recently cooked a baby-back rib barbecue with appetizers, salads and mashed potatoes for 250 guests in Deer Valley. The tab? $6,500, not including liquor, servers and bar staff.

Although Anderson wouldn't disclose his salary, his perks include use of the private movie theater and gym. The Deer Valley home is his employer's second, so Anderson has ample time to play. Occasionally, he cooks for other employers, who pay from $30 to $150 per person per meal, not counting the cost of food.

Not ready for a private chef? Let Mountain Express deliver elegant takeout from Park City restaurants ranging from French, Chinese and Vietnamese to steaks, chicken and burgers. The fee for delivery in the Park City area is just 20 percent of each restaurant's regular prices. Founder Liz DeSimone says some execs order $1,000 worth of food, usually filet mignon and chateaubriand, and let Mountain Express choose the rest. "Some people want food delivered to their hot tubs and tempt drivers to join them. We had to forbid drivers from getting into the tubs."

Deluxe transportation

Relax in a limo. DLSS Limousine provides luxury transportation in Salt Lake City and Park City. Most executives order smaller limos, while stars like Madonna relax in owner Deano Herrera's 40-foot stretch models, with TV, CD player and bar--at $159 an hour. Herrera recently supplied oxygen for an aging rock group to insure a peppy performance. But most requests are surprisingly modest, like Evian water or Diet Coke. When Tina Turner came to town, she just wanted a Suburban at a mere $85 an hour.

Managing the details

Give someone else your headaches. Judy Feltman, owner of Premier Property Management, provides custom services for owners of second homes in Park City and Deer Valiey. Clients pay a basic monthly fee of $250 for weekly inspections and supervision of cleaning and landscaping. Feltman's rates range from $30 to $50 per hour for additional services, such as paying bills, stocking groceries and buying linens.

Feltman's duties have included interesting shopping requests. "Last winter a client had fur slippers custom-made for his wife and several daughters-in-law. This family travels with big dogs. One ate a slipper from each pair. I had to ask the furrier to replace them." One client told Feltman to purchase a Suburban and leave it at the airport. When Feltman asked what color, he replied, "You pick it out."

Holiday flair

Tired of untangling Christmas lights? Brite Nites creates elaborate Christmas lighting in Salt Lake City and Park City. Owner Mark Strickland explains, "This is big business. Our Christmas displays range from $1,000 to $50,000." Some customers want year-round displays, like an 80-foot pine tree frosted with 30,000 bulbs. An animated winter display at a Park City home causes fender-benders as drivers stop to gape. Six lighted skiers seem to slalom down a mountain two stories high. Surrounding trees sparkle with thousands of lights and animated snow-flakes float behind the skiers.

Create your own magical lifestyle. You're only limited by your imagination.
