The high-tech world is making thousands of very young people very rich, but according to psychologists it is also creating a new illness - sudden wealth syndrome.
Some seek help because they are too rich and cannot handle their wealth, others because they crave more money or feel guilty. Dr Stephen Goldbart, a psychologist, runs the Money, Meaning & Choices Institute near Silicon Valley, where sixty-four new millionaires are reportedly created every day. Most of them are people in their twenties and thirties who find themselves suddenly rich, a group Dr Goldbart calls the 'Siliconaires'.
He noticed a change about ten years ago when people from middle-class backgrounds started coming into large sums of money. With the dot. com trend of recent years, his client numbers have steadily increased. In April, Merrill Lynch reported that the number of millionaires in the United States and Canada has risen almost forty percent since 1997 to 2.5 million.
Becoming unexpectedly rich has its drawbacks, Dr Goldbart says, and there should be some amount of sympathy for those who cannot handle sudden wealth. “It can ruin their lives, rip their families apart and lead them on a path of destructive behaviour”, he says. “Money does not always bring peace and fulfilment. They lose balance. Instead of money solving all their problems it often brings guilt, stress and confusion.”
People who are used to working 80 to 100 hours a week on their fledgling enterprise suddenly find they no longer need to work and are able to retire at the age of thirty. However, the newfound leisure puts them into a premature, mid-life crisis. Some experience panic attacks, severe depression and insomnia, Dr Goldbart says. Others withdraw from society or go on maniacal shopping sprees.
Some newly rich feel guilty about having so much money and feel they are not entitled to it, or that they do not deserve it. Others become paranoid, thinking they will be exploited because of their wealth, or they become obsessed with making even more money People most affected are the “new rich”, for whom wealth was not part of their upbringing and who expected to spend their lives working. Anxiety and depression can also come from 'ticker shock' as they watch the vagaries in the stock market, particularly a plunge when they have not exercised their stock options.
Part of Dr Goldbart's cure for the unhappy rich is to get them involved in the community and not just writing cheques to charities. British Columbia's Rory Holland, executive vice-president of Itemus, made his millions when the company he was involved in for eight years was sold for US$103-million in 1998. He now devotes much of his time to four non-profit groups, serves on their boards and helps raise money.
Dr Goldbart believes he is the only psychologist, along with family counsellor Joan DiFuria, providing therapy for the rich, and would like to see more colleagues provide the service. “These people [the rich] are sensitive to how people feel and are reluctant to use our kind of service” he says. “But we help them regain the balance they've lost.”
Outside, rain and darkness. During a ride in a car, the driver is killed. Above the machine, control is lost and, as a result, an accident. An hour later, doctors appeared at the scene of the accident, taking the only surviving girl to the hospital. This morning her father arrives at the hospital in order to visit his daughter and ask how she is feeling, and on the same day he calls a detective.
“I'm a private detective.” My name is Charles Holmes
One wonderful morning, I was called to the hospital in order to talk and find out what happened.
And so in the first meeting, the client’s daughter treated me badly. This was noticeable in her facial expression and manner of speaking towards me. But I am cold-blooded in this concept. So it makes no difference to me. My goal is to understand what happened.
And so it was good with me a girl who made good friends with the daughter of a client. While she was talking and reassuring her daughter, at that time I was talking with a client about what had happened, but he said that in general the driver had to take his daughter to the house, but he could not cope with it. To which I asked the client if he had a feud with anyone. If so, you should bring a complete list of business competitors who, even in theory, could attack your daughter for no reason. To which the client replied yes of course and said that we should definitely call you so that all the same you will receive a list of those people who you need and who you would like to probably interview. to be continued
