There a lots of case studies of lottery winners where they end up massively overspending their winnings and have a hard time returning to their old way of life, but can't maintain their temporary standard.

I think (but have no data) that that's less likely for people who made it big through business/startups. Although you certainly hear some stories about people who blow the money and have to go back to the grind.
