Depends where you live, but plenty of countries you're at risk of kidnapping at 1/100th of that net worth and thus need bodyguards

Oh yeah of course, depends entirely of the country and the income disparity. I live in HK and regularly I see some members of the Li Ka-shing family go to one of my favourite restaurant (Chiu Tang, a nice but not too expensive fine dining place). They're always accompanied by 4-6 bodyguards and have to dine in a private room.
