He's lucky - I work with people who are moderately wealthy, but instantly recognizable. They can't take public transport, eat openly in restaurants, go to the local store, or just generally be out "in public."
In Brin's case it's not a case of flaunting wealth or not, it's a case of being unrecognized, and hence able to be incognito.
After Michael Jackson's death, there was an excellent post by someone who worked with him as an audio engineer on some of his albums.
One day the engineers were discussing what path they took to walk to work when Michael Jackson came in. Michael said, "Wow, you guys are lucky to be able to walk to work."
