As near as I can tell, all of those people make nightmare neighbors. Once any of them move in, your best option is to get out.
I lived in Palo Alto for years around 2018 before realizing o was a block away from Tim Cook. From the outside, his house looked pretty normal-looking and I also run into him at the whole foods down the block. He and his house looked pretty down to earth.
This seems like a fair question. Atherton for example just already has lots large enough to build a compound without doing anything weird. It’s not like he needs to be walking distance to things, it seems like he doesn’t just go out in public these days, does he? It is kind of odd.

There’s a reason “Zuck” needs to spend millions on security va someone like Cook…
There’s a dead comment asking why he doesn’t live where the other billionaires live. This seems like a fair question.

It's certainly ironic considering his company's founding mission was connecting people.
Some amount of isolation can be normal as a high-profile CEO. At some point, it gets to be quite a sad life. You can't enjoy any activities without planning. You only interact with family, executive assistants, the C-suite, peer executives, and security. Everyone in your life is a sycophant, and you're blind it it. You can't drive yourself. You live life in a cushy cocoon with both unlimited freedom and zero freedom.
Surprised this article didn't mention his antics in Hawaii, where he tried using lawsuits to secure all of the parcels in his 700-acre Kauai property from native Hawaiians. (He dropped the lawsuits after the optics became terrible, but he's still reviled there.)
