That is incredibly naive. Wealth is the only thing that guarantees anonymity.

Anonymity? They get their own Wikipedia pages and personalised conspiracy theories. Even “mere” multimillionaires like my first boss after graduating got that plus endless personal fan letters.
Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Mark Zuckerberg is known worldwide and has no ability to be anonymous. However aspects of his private life (his Facebook messages, for example) are far more private than the average person.
Zuckerberg’s password in June 2016 was “dadada”. That’s about as successful an attempt at privacy as the average person :)
