He talked a lot about isolation and an inability to connect with other people, despite becoming well known for insane parties and stating he has the ability to do whatever he wants.&lt;p&gt;Other people who have come upon sudden riches have expressed the same sentiment. There was a great post on reddit years ago from a guy in wealth management who talked about the severe lack of &amp;quot;human experience&amp;quot; when you achieve maximum wealth.</text></comment>
