I have a good friend who is from one of the wealthiest families in the city here. His father recently sold a long held property for $25 million and has more money than I am sure he can count.
His son however has done nothing in life and is such a drunk that he is now living on an Indian reservation where his inability to function is somewhat more tolerated. He gets a few hundred a week from a trust fund designed to protect him.
There is another guy who I know from an extremely wealthy California family who inherited a mint when his parents passed away in an accident. It all went on blow and alcohol and it got to the point where his siblings and his own lawyers had to cut him off. He eventually overdosed on Vancouver's skid row.
Certainly a lot of people do well with entitlement, but I have found it can really fuck some people up.
