I grew up in a family without a lot of money, in a community where there weren't people with a lot of money (or they hid it well) so I was totally unprepared for this as an adult but it turns out -- there are a surprising number of young adults that are just handed a ridiculous stack of money and just need to figure out something productive to do with it. There are some famous examples of it working out well but I'm sure the average is more like these stories.
The question is how to engineer those kinds of emergent situations where you just wind up with a bunch of $$$ - in a way that you'll be fine with looking back on later.
It's weird. On the one hand it feels like "lateral creativity + honesty = unicorn", like "never the twain shall meet", but on the other hand I can't come up with a good rigorous explanation for why that's the case.
