Current Events > So do all rich and/or famous people eventually become insane,

(+) Yeah! (+)

or do they just say/do stupid things in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

Money just kinda does that to you.

And if you had issues before getting money, money doesnt magically fix those issues. In fact, all it does is get worse the more you get of it.

and yes, this is about Kanye West

Hilary Duff still living a normal life and she is rich and famous

it really just depends on the person

No, just fame and fortune can more easily enable imbalanced people to not seek treatment.

I suspect it often has to do that if you become very rich, very few people will say "no" to you, or at least very few people are in a position for their "no" to mean anything.

I don't think the money does it. Just the attention.

There's lots of billionaires you never hear anything about because they go out of their way to avoid being noticed. But to become rich in the entertainment industry you need attention and attention does you in.

This applies mostly to people who had problems before becoming rich. Lots of famous people don't do anything stupid either.

Some do go insane or become evil like Hunter Biden, but most do stupid or bizarre things for attention, Musk is a genius, but he's also a troll who likes attention, but everyone eats it up; so the trolling is doing it's job.

There are tons of rich and famous people who are not like that at all

Having a lot of money generally detaches you from the real world in terms of your mindset and interractions, while materially gives you a great deal of power over the real world, which makes you dangerous and can make you ridiculous.

Oh dear god, nowhere is safe from this shit.

Having a lot of money wouldnt make me crazy. In fact, it would calm me.

There are plenty of rich guys out there who live quietly. Once you get attention from a lot of people, you're going to get hate from a lot of people too. Some guys don't know how to handle that.

A lot of times people's lives basically restrict them from going publicly crazy. Like they might want to do all sorts of insane shit but like they need to keep their job to keep bills paid. So they reign it in.

Rich people don't have that restriction.

Plenty of times I wanted to jump on a forklift and start tearing shit up.

If I was rich and still worked I'd be like fuck it, fire me, sue me, I'm now gonna buy this business anyway.

they literally don't live in the same reality as most people
