It is like winning the lottery. Many of the people who win the lottery are broke again in a few years.
I always think of the Bill Gates quote when it comes to stuff like this. He said, "Success is a terrible teacher because it makes smart people think they can't fail."
It is so true. A person is good at a sport so they also suddenly think they are a great businessman or smart investor. Someone wins the lottery and suddenly they think they can invent something and make millions more. In the end they fail badly.
