I've thought about that a lot. If I won a near bn or more lottery, could I stay grounded enough, after hiring a reputable financial planner, to found a Montessori school of high global academic standards or free health clinic, including pharmacy, that includes plant medicines, organic foods diets, where appropriate, and/or a smaller side project or two? Or would I be irresponsible and do an Elvis-type thing for my primary caregiver and for my child that's still in my life, rather than set them up with a trust, so they would be able to be truly financially independent, should their spouse pass before them? It's easy to think the best of ourselves until the moment of truth arrives. I'd hope I'd be financially responsible, hire the planner, give to my community in a meaningful, probably anonymous way (because of sudden best friends clamoring for Fendi bags and Lambos), and buy myself an old Volvo or Audi, dependable and unostentatious.
