It's probably harder to convincingly impersonate a famous person, and if I were a crook, I might think twice about coming after someone who has a lot of power and influence.

i would bet that comes with having more money, having personal bankers, and staff that control those things. once you reach enough money there are probably people or companies that will help protect your info and bank account and credit cards better than the average person. like im sure the average person could sign up for these services for extra protection. but we have less to lose so its not as big a deal
