It seems to me they just use smartphones like the average working class person does, how do they even protect their privacy? Do they have a special variant of smartphone that's doesn't have tracking?

Everyone uses smartphones. But to supplement the other good answers here, at some level of wealth, so much of your activities, interests and purchases are extended to secretaries, planners, asset managers, and otherwise individuals about whom you can claim "I've got a guy for that", that tracking you as an individual becomes less effective.

Of course, nobody is immune just due to wealth and billionaires who use social media are tracked just like anyone else.
