We saw Chris Rock once and he went off on some gentleman who won a lottery and was bankrupt at the end of the year. He called this phenomenon, “Ni**er rich”, and explained that nothing moved faster than money in the hands of a black man.

Makes me think of many examples of such people who made it big, legitimately, only to squander their wealth on frivolities.

Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, etc.

I’ve known legitimate businessmen who’ve been filthy rich then broke then filthy rich...several times over in their lifetime.
