World Population: 7.4 billion
Confirmed cases: 120,000
Famous people: ~10,000 (?)
If famous people were neither more likely to contract nor to be tested for corona, 0.12 famous people should, statistically, have corona.
They travel more. They probably meet more people. They may be more concentrated in parts of the world that have been more severely affected.
Since we are still sorely lacking in testing capacity, it's far more likely a famous person can get tested.
And the implication of that for how prevalent the virus already is are terrifying.
