If I had to pin an exact date on it, it'd be when he bought the most expensive mansion in Beverly Hills (at the time, $70M was a lot for a mansion).

Why? Because you need to deal with life changes one thing at a time. Pro-tip for the future billionaires currently scrolling this comment section: don't move away from your friends, family, and home country immediately after getting rich -- it might screw with your head a little bit. Do what the old money does: stay grounded, dress down, and pretend to be normal.

Living, as I do, in a town where I don't know very many people, I would move back to my hometown to be with my old friends if I got rich. I think that's the way to do it.
