There are lots of millionaires walking around every day. I'm sure they take precautions but not to the extreme like you are talking. They probably have a security system and maybe even a bodyguard/driver but the majority of them don't have a security force that would put the secret service to shame. I kind of doubt the multi-millionaires walk through the sleazy part of town at 11 pm but I'm sure most of them aren't paranoid about being kidnapped. A lot of rich people aren't in the spot light, so how would anybody even know they were rich. The guy that got gas in front of you yesterday could have been a multi-millionaire. Living in bubble worried that someone might be out to get you would be a horrible way to live.

I will tell you right now that the people at the bank will know you and how much green you have, friends will talk, your former co-workers will talk. Word will get out and you will become a target.
Think about Governors, and Senators, the Secret service is with them.
I have a former neighbor that was a state cop years ago. He now does security for a wealthy family, very wealthy. Yes, I am serious. He is basically a bodyguard. How he got in is that his former captain runs the private security for this family and he must Always carry a side arm. And he has to train with it every few months.
It is better to be careful then dead or have a family member kidnapped.
Yes it happens, Yes you will live in a shell to a point. But........that is the cost of being super wealthy.
There are lowlifes in the world that will kill you for $5k, or less. Desperate losers that will do anything for money.

One bodyguard not a dozen like you mentioned. You seem paranoid that someone would start WW III and attack your residence. Who would want to be super wealthy but always looking over their shoulder thinking someone is out to get them. I've known a few very wealthy people and if they were as paranoid as you, they'd probably end up in a padded room. You said previously that you don't even let your kids friends come in your house unless they go to your church. I'm sorry but that's already paranoid. Most people would be a basket case if they already felt that way and came into a lot of money.
