      most celebs call paparazzi on themselves, and many specifically plant stories in the tabloids. it's a symbiotic relationship

        Hollywood type celebs probably, but I doubt billionaires do (except maybe Musk). I'm sure there's some paparazzo out there that would notice them not at events together and start digging.

          idk a lot of billionaires in the public eye have dedicated PR teams, which often means getting papped to keep your name on people's lips or to like, distract people from the fact that you're actively doing a vaccine apartheid or whatever

          plus usually the rumor mill gets kicked off by like, friends of friends or the celeb's staff or their friends or whatever - that's where most blind items in celeb gossip land come from afaik
