<p>Self-made billionaire Michael Dell recently topped the list of Austin's highest-paid CEOs for his generous <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2012/08/13/dell-tops-list-of-highest-paid-austin.html">$16 million annual salary</a>. But that doesn't mean he wants everyone to know how--and where!--he's spending it. (Lavish breakfast buffets aboard the family jet to Fiji, as it turns out.)</p>
<p>That might explain why Alexa Dell's oblivious, overshare-y Twitter account abruptly <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-10/the-very-real-perils-of-rich-kids-on-social-networks">disappeared on Friday</a> after the 18-year-old Columbia University student and <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/alexa-dell/4b/3b7/615"><em>W</em> magazine intern</a> shared a photo of her brother Zachary Dell, which was quickly picked up by the socio-economic sleuths at <a href="http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/">Rich Kids of Instagram</a> last week. <!--more--></p>
<p><div id="attachment_58418" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/oops-twitter-account-dell-magnate-teen-daughter-shut-blabbing-family-whereabouts-article-1.1135351"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-58418" title="Alexa Dell Zachary Dell" src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/azvp2xmcuaadbbx-web.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Photo: New York Daily News)</p></div></p>
<p>The image of the younger Mr. Dell--Fiji-bound on his dad's jet, sitting before an nutrient-rich brunch that would feed the Joads for a week--was natural fodder for the <a href="http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/">trust fund chroniclers</a>, but has also been deleted. The problem, in Ms. Dell's case, may have been that her GPS-enabled tweets left a handy trail for potential kidnappers, a security analyst told <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-10/the-very-real-perils-of-rich-kids-on-social-networks"><em>Bloomberg Businessweek</em></a>.</p>
<p>A repeat offender, Ms. Dell previously posted the invitation to her high school graduation, complete with time, date, and location.</p>
<p>It's possible that didn't sit well with Mr. Dell, the elder, who spends roughly $2.7 million a year on security protection for his family, according to SEC filings uncovered by <em>Businessweek</em>.</p>
