to keep the family safe are being thwarted from within - by his own 
daughter.

been very active on popular social media sites like Facebook and 
Twitter, detailing her every move, from her exact arrival times in New 
York City, for example, to a list of her favorite shopping hot spots.

Without giving it a second thought, Alexa Dell also posted her high 
school graduation dinner invitation that foretold where and when her 
father and mother would be within a couple of weeks, according to 
Bloomberg Businessweek.

This week, she posted a photo of her brother, Zachary, on a Tumbler site 
called the Rich Kids of Instagram depicting the magnate’s son devouring 
a luxurious buffet on his way to Fiji.

Unlike most young web users eager to open their lives to the world with 
little or no regard for privacy, Ms Dell happens to be the daughter of a 
tycoon worth $15.9billion who occupies the 41st slot on Forbes 
Magazine’s Billionaires’ List.
