I was thinking about this and how similar the situation is with winning a lottery, esp a big one.

You have the people who are compulsive manic spenders, who think money can buy anything, and once they get their hands on that big money, nothing changes.

Then you have the "normal" people (whatever that is), who grew up knowing the value of money, and what it won't buy. They think before they spend, and live within their means. They tend not to change, either.

Of course, the show business people live in a goldfish bowl, too, and I'm sure that can't make it any easier.
