It varies and they don't talk about it (obviously) but you can glean things from various sources. The more "public" the ultra rich are, the more they'll have security, especially noticeable security.
The silent or unknown ones will often still have something (usually a requirement of their or their company's insurance).
Once you graduate from "2, 3, 5 houses" to "mansions" you will have staff at each one, even if relatively bare-bones.
Yeah but theyre useless if a large organised group shows up.
hell they will probably join the mob instantly.
No they’re not.
The Bling Ring were successful in their crimes for a little while and obviously Mr Security Team didn't stop them. They got caught via the oldest tale in time; a rat on the ship.

Yes they are. they always have been. The Praetorian guard killed the Emperor and auctioned Rome off, the winner was killed 66 days later due to one of the 3 army's marching on Rome due to the auction. The bidding was just 2 guys one of which (the emperor to be) had to yell their bids from outside the wall of the praetorian guard camp. The army didn't even have to fight, just their presence was enough to get the Senate to execute the new Emperor.
The pattern is always the same rich people destabilize countries due to their greed and fear, but they cope that it won't affect them. Like they can somehow hedge against the collapse of society by hiring a few guards and building a bunker. Money that could stabilize society instead gets spent on bunkers, guards and art galleries.
