Nobody knows if they can trust anyone, not just rich people.

  Right, but it's a lot easier when you don't have anything someone else might want, much less a billion or more things.

    He could give away 99.99% of his wealth, still never have to work another day in his life, and be much less of a target if he wanted to. Boo hoo the poor guy who has more money than almost anyone has ever had in the history of the earth has problems

      If he gave away 99.99% of his wealth, that would tank the retirement accounts of millions of people, possibly have his life's work be taken over by some hedge fund ("introducing the Tesla Model V8, now with extra vroom-vroom!"), and then get sued by shareholders for the remaining 0.01%.

  True, but it isn't worth a thief's time to steal things from me, so I'm less a target of dishonest people. Not zero target, but not a big target. Rich people because they have money are a larger target. Nobody would seek to marry me for my money - filing for divorce as soon as enough time has past to make it look like that wasn't their goal - a small number of people would do that and they seek out rich people.
