Correct.
It changes some people. As Barry Gibb referred to it as, "First Fame". The dollar sign, and things you can buy, etc. people let consume them and become 'who they are'.
It will then start effecting people around them as the materialism and greed will draw in people who want to be around it, or the gold diggers who are out for it.
People who have the money will start letting it 'define them' as a person. The money, and what they have will unfortunately be the 'cofidence' they draw on. So if they ever lose the money, they are devastated. Especially when all the supposed 'friends' go away.
I've been through this on more than one occasion in life. Twice it changed both me, and the people around me. People who you thought were friends, and women who you thought wanted you for who you were. Not what you have.
The third time I've managed to play it low key, and it's had a minimal effect as I fly under the radar. But for the handful who've found out by someone running their mouth (about this business, the models, and money) it always draws out people who would not give you the time of day.
Honestly in retrospect it's a lot like building yourself the ultimate golden prison in a lot of ways.
Once you get there. You'll find out.
