Professional cuddler earns $40G a year

Robin Marie, 48. A big-hearted woman has quite literally embraced a most lucrative career as a professional cuddler.

She earns $40,000 a year, or $80 per hour, from her unique job and spends around 45 hours-a-week spooning, hugging and snuggling.

Robin’s clients come through a website called Cuddlist, which offers a training program to assist cuddling pros. The job, which Robin has been doing full time for 18 months, is strictly platonic and all clients are fully clothed at all times. Hugs can be standing, lying, or seated, in many different positions.
