1st and foremost, people should seek out a certified/licensed financial planner. then a lawyer, then maybe even a private security company, owned and operated by a former law enforcement person.
many people have never had such amounts of money, and blow it all off in days, or weeks, even in a few short months.
no one wants to be told what to do when so much money comes in, as they may think that someone else is there to "get 'em", or they know what to do and can take care of themselves, but yet they trust the cockroaches of life.
we all would like to think what we would do with such windfalls, and many take the time to seek out professionals and plan really very well too.
but as long as there will be stupid people, there will be once again....poor people.
