It seems baffling that somebody could be so fortunate and somehow blow it all. It's maddening really, how much we work to slowly build and maintain our wealth while these people have absolutely no idea what that entails. I guess it would be really hard to try to learn the basics of wealth management in such a stressful position. It'd be impossible to know who to trust, especially when they know you're rich and naive- not a good combination! These stories always interest me.
