UK man gets paid up to ₹16,000 a day for standing in line for rich people

Freddie's clients vary from young families who are run off their feet to OAP's - and he's spent freezing winter nights in queues.

A man has become a professional queuer and earns his money by standing in line for rich people who don't want to - and he's making a killing doing it.

Freddie Beckitt charges £20 an hour to stand in line for other people, and he says it comes naturally to him as he's a Londoner, and has queueing "down to a fine art".

On a good day, the 31-year-old can earn up to £160, but he must have the patience of a saint as that means he's stood in a line, barely moving, for a full eight hours.

Freddie, from Fulham, said that his best jobs are queueing for tickets to highly popular events, such as performances at the Apollo, for customers who are money-rich and time-poor.

Speaking to The Sun, Freddie said: "I worked eight hours for a job queuing for the V&A's Christian Dior exhibition for some very well-to-do people around their mid-sixties.

"The actual queuing was just three hours but they asked me to collect their tickets too and wait for them to arrive, so I just had hours perusing the V&A museum being paid £20 an hour, it was great!"
