There are plenty of stories of those that do.
It is surprisingly easy to throw money away. You buy an expensive home, a few dream cars, furniture, some nice clothes, a vacation and other nice things. That's easily a million or three right there. Then you start buying cars and homes for friends and relatives and lending people money and you're already up to five or six million.
Next you start paying taxes on property you bought, get bored, buy some more stuff and vacations. You invite your friends and pay for everything, you've soon blown another million. So now you've spend a good seven million and decide to 'invest' in some questionable business ventures including a strip club. It all goes south and so does your wife, because she caught you cheating with a stripper. She takes half what's left and the stripper sues you for some more. Your long lost aunt who said you promised her some money also sues you.
The story goes on and on, but you get the idea. To normal people like you or I, it sounds like a lot of money. To an idiot with no money management skills, money can slip through your fingers like crazy.
As the old saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted."
