>> Bill Gates could probably easily get away with stuff like this too. The difference is that Gates doesn't do stupid things like this because Gates knows that he is a public figure. He hires people who know what they're doing and invests his time and energy in PR. Parker, Zuckerberg, and others seem to think that they can enjoy the benefits of being public figures when they want to and then turn it off when they don't. It doesn't work that way. Also, why doesn't Parker have anybody around him to tell him that building a fake ruined castle in Big Sur is not going to look good in the press? If I was him and I read this article, I'd be figuring out who had my best interests at heart and who was just hanging on for the money.
