Sell it to a subsidiary or shell that owns it for the purpose of renting it back to him, or just makes it available, like buying a house through an LLC. Problem solved.

It's maybe a business model. Real estate ownership is public, so industries and practices spring up to obscure them. Everything that is valuable and public will eventually have a shell-company veil woven over it.

or just buy/start a private jet charter company so no way public can know where go etc. while making money.

Private Jet privacy as a Service - if only I had the capital and the connections :p

Berkshire Hathaway owns one of those companies.[1]

Maybe that's why we don't hear much about travels of Warren Buffett. He could be doing/buying every expensive thing in some island in remote place, we have 0 chance of knowing it.

Every private jet is already owned an opaque manner as you suggest.

The twitter accounts emerge when people make the connection between tail-number and beneficial owner when they are spotted with the plane.
