Man, to be an actual billionaire it must be something to be able to open every single door and go any place you want. Almost like playing a game with cheat codes on. I wonder if it gets dull after a while. They don't seem particularly happy.
It does. That's why a lot of lottery winners and pro athletes are broke after a few years. You take your money, live large, lifestyle creep happens, then the money stops but the bills keep coming.
It's probably not the case but I always wondered if some of those public stories are just to get beggars off your back. Akin to faking one's death, you fake you lost all your money so people stop hounding you. I'd probably do this if I had to announce my winnings (but then I'd have to play let alone win).
I'd do a lot of research on buying a place to live comfortably and sustainably with my family. I'd probably just pocket the rest in trusts for my kids and travel mostly. Lifestyle creep is a massive concern. I don't know if I'd have the willpower to regulate that but I'd like to think I would...
