The winner of one of the regional versions of Who Wants to be a Millionaire went from pussycat to lion to starving dog.
After winning the grand prize, our man was hounded by the media. Not for a few days, but for a few years. More like 5. Interview after interview, and ad after ad. He began spending out of pocket too. Plenty of fake stories were published about him. His education took a back seat. He made large donations, and was often taken for a ride on philanthropic reasons. At the end, he was pretty much back on the road. Did I mention his wife left him?
Money money money. We want to have it in the billions. But are we confident we can handle all that comes with it?
