All three work hard to stay out of the public gaze.
For example, Tim Cook kept his sexuality under wraps for decades until he was outed in the media, Warren Buffett almost never criticized sitting officials and living in Omaha means he's out of the media gaze, and before Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO he was notoriously private about his personal life (and is more than making up for it post-CEO life and thus shielding Jassy)
Lots of billionaires are notoriously private - can you name the top 50 richest Americans without resorting to Wikipedia or Forbes?

- rsynnott 2y agoI wouldn’t call promoting obvious propaganda from the leader of a far right political party a little thing, particularly given the context (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots ). Like, the most charitable possible interpretation is that he is _extremely_ gullible, to the point that he’s incompetent to have a platform at all and should have his tweets reviewed by a grown-up.
