I'd be the most miserable human being on the face of the earth!!!
You can't get that kind of money handed to you without a lot of public attention, so...
1) Your privacy is shot to hell.
2) Your loved ones' privacy is shot to hell, and possibly in danger of being kidnapped for ransom.
3) You can't go anywhere without media hounding you.
4) Everyone wants to write or film an unauthorized biography.
5) You make the tabloid headlines every other day.
6) Distant (and not-so distant) relatives want a "hook-up".
7) You think the "telemarketers" were bad, you haven't seen NOTHING yet!
8) People you don't know want to sue you for any frivoulous action they can come up with and ex-lovers (real or imagined) want to sue for paternity.
You can't go anywhere in public, so you will end up spending the bulk of it building a huge compound with all the amenities of a small town, so that you can live a basic life without interference from the outside world.
Do you really think that the mega-celebrities of the world build these gargantuan sites on their sprawling properties because they can, or because they HAVE TO?
If I were Michael Jackson (eccentricities excepted), I would probably consider suicide a lot!
I'm pinchin pennies these days, and our family does without a lot. But at least I'm anonymous enough that I am free to go about my daily activities without interference.
I'll bet you there are more than a few billionaires out there that would give a billion dollars to trade places with the rest of us if they knew what would have happened...
