“I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: ‘try being rich first’. See if that doesn’t cover most of it.

Being invisible is invaluable. Chasing status and vanity is an emotional deficiency.
I wouldn't want it. Plenty of billionaires who can walk around town unrecognized and don't tweet at all. Just an example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dangermond
