What? How many millions of undocumented immigrants are living in the US
now?

Another road to victory might be the extreme opposite in case the person
manages to become a billionaire. That might make hiding and changing
identities a lot easier.

It makes some things easier, but others harder.  Maintaining usable
access to all that money while being part of society is tough.  By
now, it probably has to be illegally (on top of the identity issues)
and money transfers (changing from one form of the wealth to another)
are difficult with the methodology having to constantly change over
the decades.
