Definitely depends on the person.
I like to think that in my present position, I don't worry about money that much anyway. If I suddenly came up on a lot more of it, I doubt I would change much. I would just live in a nicer condo and drive a better car.
The owner of the company I work for is a good example of a good guy with ridiculous amounts of money. The guy's gotta be worth tens or hundreds of millions, yet he's a modest guy living in a pretty modest home in the burbs of Calgary. You can sit down and have a beer with the guy and talk about the same things the rest of us deal with day to day. It probably helps that he's earned every cent he's got. He didn't get rich overnight.
