The maid quarters, kitchen, and other common areas all have security cameras overhead, so staff's every move can be monitored from a central location.According to the people we've spoken with, Mr. Peltz is less abusive to the household staff than his wife. Hundreds of guests attended the May 14 bash for Zachary and Gregory Peltz …
We have some new—and disturbing—information on the house of horrors in Bedford occupied by billionaire Nelson Peltz and his wife Claudia. He is the CEO of Triarc, the franchise parent of Arby's, TJ Cinnamon and Pasta Connection. See Nelson Peltz Estate in Bedford, NY, as it appears on Google Maps as well as other celebrity homes on VirtualGlobetrotting.com. Since the Peltzes typically order enormous platters of food—and much of it goes uneaten—on several occasions employees have been scolded for eating food that the Peltzes would rather see go to waste.Having a small army patrolling the property may keep Peltz safe, and they also serve to intimidate other members of the household staff, but the guards don't sound nearly as frightening as the couple's "house manager," who keeps tabs on everything going on in the home. But you'd be wrong, as one staff member discovered when his innocent bagel-toasting was caught on camera, leading to a severe reprimand from the house manager. Then again, given we're in the middle of a recession and everyone is cutting back these days, perhaps having six bodyguards instead of 12—or four maids instead of six—isn't the worst idea in the world. Peltz is the former owner of Snapple.

A call to Peltz's office was not returned. By all accounts, the combative mogul is obsessed with security and insists on having armed bodyguards on the premises—and by his side—at all times.We contacted Peltz's reps for comment.

Few people who have worked at the house are inclined to talk about what they've seen. Of course, Peltz and his wife, Claudia, need lots of help: It's a big house. (See left.) While he spends his time focused on business, it's Claudia and the estate manager who rule over their charges with an iron fist. You wouldn't think that a billionaire would be too concerned about one of his employees enjoying a free bagel, especially one that's destined for the trash. Even more abusive is the couple's daughter, an aspiring actress in her early teens for whom heaping abuse on the maids, nannies, and butlers has become something of a sport.Indeed, the tension has reached such levels that the Peltzes appear to be having trouble finding help these days and agencies that are still willing to work with the family now warn prospective employees of the perils involved.
