Maybe.

But many who also make lots of money have no idea how to manage it and end up overspending and then finding themselves unable to maintain the lifestyle.

A 40 million dollar house must cost $50,000 per year in property taxes alone! Then heating/cooling/electrical/water/gas/ (likely $30k), outdoor maintenance (no idea: say $15k), house maintenance ($20k) and on ...

So it costs over $100k per year to just maintain a house of that size. Doable for mega stars but one day the money doesn't come in like it used to.
