What about people who have millions today? (In $,€,£)
Maybe it does happen to you, maybe not; have a safe home, have some way to off possible intruders, and maybe carry a knife with you (or a gun, if possible). It's all about being the most difficult target, as it's always been.
they are targeted in the usual way, home invasion, scams etc, but nobody is trying to kidnap them to get them to call up their broker and transfer their meta stock.
with btc, you have all your work, on a device, in your house which ads a difference risk vector.
that and the blockchain can be analysed, so if you buy a Ferrari with your btc, someone can trace back and monitor the address etc

If you have a significant amount of bitcoin it would be unwise to have it all on a single device at your house. A multisignature setup would be one possible solution.
As far as someone monitoring the blockchain and seeing how much an address of your has when you spend, this is why it’s important to use a different address for each transaction you recieve. And if you do end up with a large utxo are there are ways to break it into a smaller one so that when you spend it it’s much harder for the recipient of your payment to know how much money you have.

It's an educated guess at best, stop being so paranoid people...

If you send someone bitcoin .1 bitcoin from an address that holds .5 bitcoin, they can be 100 percent certain you have .4 btc left.

That's true, but that would be dumb anyways and kinda deserved then, ain't it?
How about lightning?

And yet that’s what the post/comment is about. Not everyone is aware of how to use bitcoin the best possible way. Instead of calling people “paranoid” and calling them “dumb” lead with the lightning part.
