When you move in these echelons of society laws are basically nothing but PR. They look good and the elite can end critique by pointing to them. But that's about it, they can break them as much as they want without risking anything other than the public getting mad at them for a couple of days if they find out and there isn't already another pair of keys being jangled in front of them.
Really there exists only one law the super rich need to follow: don't fuck things up for other rich people. Basically legally enshrined class consciousness for the capitalist class is one way to look at it
