I’m A Billionaire. How Can I Avoid Being Kidnapped? by ItuExchange(m): 12:18am On Apr 30, 2017
First of all, you have to realize that sophisticated criminals do not try to kidnap Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg for ransom. It's much harder to get a $1 billion ransom for a guy who is buddies with most heads-of-state than it is to get 200 $5 million ransoms by snatching Palm Beach mortgage brokers or 20,000 $50,000 ransoms kidnapping vacationers for a few hours.

So, the people who would try to kidnap a famous billionaire are either idiots who get into a gambling debt and think of a boneheaded scheme, corporate criminals who want to incapacitate a competitor, or highly sophisticated state-level actors who would want access to the power, not the money, of a Gates or Zuckerberg. Thankfully, the habit of kidnapping or assassinating business competitors is virtually nonexistent at the Fortune 500 level, although quite common in other countries and among lower-level businesses like check cashers or drug dealers.

And while a state-level actor who could make a credible threat to Mark Zuckerberg’s family might be able to pressure him into tilting Facebook’s news algorithm in one direction or another to swing an election, I haven't heard about such a thing happening, although by its nature it would be kept secret. That might make an interesting movie though.

The much more common risk that famous billionaires face is assault and battery. As other answers have pointed out, even well-meaning crowds can get physically dangerous. Second, all famous people are assault targets simply for their fame, like John Lennon. Finally, a disgruntled user who, say, had his girlfriend dump him for a guy she met on Facebook might translate this into a personal vendetta against Mark Zuckerberg. The other answers explain the security measures taken to protect against these threats.

Always go around with bodyguards. You can't pretend to be poor when you're a millionaire, for your exploits would speak for itself.

1st and most importantly, seek God's protection

Get yourself a b6 level amoured gwagon with kevlar wheels as your run around car.

Get yourself two 12 gauge shot guns, one in your car and one at home,

make sure your fence are high with with electric barb wires and and make sure they are also laced with poison

Make sure you have survilance cameras everywhere.

have several dozens of pitbull as pets,get them custom kevlar vest which they will wear when they are released to roam the compound at night

Have an underground safe room bunker in your house with communication and surveillance equipment.


Be very generous nd kind to people

always wear kevlar vest when going for public events

Never go for events without security details, they don't have to wearrange black suit and shades, they can wear native and look dressed for the occasion but with kalashnikov nd kevlar vest under their agbada

Never dicuss your movements be unpredictable as to your whereabouts.
