it is weird how people say that getting a lot of money, the thing whole world is based on, all humans work every day to get, is the worst thing that happened to them.

Shakespeare - shot by someone who was trying to get his money

David Lee Edwards - was a convict, spent a lot in several years, lost all his money and died.

Jeffree Dampier: was sleeping with his wife's sister, shot and killed by her and her husband.

Urooj Khan: coughs blood and dies the next day of getting his check. Cyanide poisoning.

Michael Karoll: "parties, coke, hookers, cars"

Harrell Jr: spent too much, lent too much, killed himself after his wife left him.

Stories go on and on. Almost all of them can be linked to already unstable, unwell people, their inability to manage the money properly or them not shutting up about the huge cash pile they recently sat on, to the trashy, money crazed people around them.
