What you mean is probably 'as far as public billionaires goes'. And with regards to 'down to earth' like anyone of prominence they don't care about you or wouldn't help you in any way (and couldn't possibly). So we are not talking about the guy next door who lends you his saw and is already around for advice and a helping hand.
Don't think for a second they aren't selfish in their own way they would have to be in order to be involved and run an enterprise of that magnitude.
What does down to earth mean anyway? Most people probably think that it means you appear to be more like the common man and don't have the typical trappings of wealth (or if you do nobody knows about them).

That applies to any stranger. Basically, a billionaire is human like any other.
We do idolize Billionaire / celebrity too much, but these unkind takes don't help anyone.

every human is selfish in their own way.

by your definition, he is down to earth. I would not define it like that, but i don't even know how to define it, but i would say that it correlates with not living for the apparatus or "big life" / hype / spend, and enjoying "small" things (ie, good and long lasting friendships, healthy family relations, simply enjoying a meal with people they care)
