Yeah, status and fame are non-anonymous almost by definition.
Perhaps we should redesign the society to protect prestigious professions by giving them a second identity. After passing the exams, you get your Dentist Name and a mask you need to wear all the time at your job. No one would suspect that Joe, officially working at the local hospital as a janitor / IT guy / administrative worker, is secretly the famous dentist Paracelsus. ;)
Money is useful even when spent invisibly. Unless people observe you 24⁄7, they do not really know how much total money you spend. You could have a private palace full of servants, and then another ordinary appartment in an ordinary part of town, to invite your middle-class friends. You could pretend to have a job; whenever you leave your town, you are on a “business trip”; whenever someone sees you having some kind of fun in the middle of a workday, you are having a “vacation”. You pretend to call a cab, but actually call your private driver. If Batman can fight crime in his spare time, certainly you can pretend to live a middle-class lifestyle.
