I had an acquaintance who won around $18M after taxes around 2010. She looked and dressed the same, not wanting riches. The lottery win wasn’t the best thing for her; she became a local celebrity and her husband, feeling purposeless with her wealth, struggled with depression.
They splurged on travel initially but kept their wedding budget simple with no plus-ones for guests in casual relationships. Their dream house remains partly furnished with old belongings, which shows their modest approach despite newfound wealth. Tragically, her husband passed away young.
