If your ambition doesn’t grow with your wealth, the wealth makes you stupid by enabling you to delay decisions longer under uncertainty. I’ve done most of my on-time risky trigger pulling when money was tight, delayed it too long when it wasn’t

When wealth accumulates, so do advisors around that wealth. Possibly harder to trust intuition when lots of people you pay yelling to pump the breaks?

Don’t know how common that effect is. Most wealthy people I know limit that to some living-trust type stuff but retain control over bulk of wealth and ignore advisors. But they do need to develop appetite for making bigger moves in same time.

Depends what you mean by management. Mechanics/taxes/vehicles/concierge yes, strategic allocation decisions (public vs private markets vs hedge funds, real estate, own act 2 efforts ...) not so much. Depends on how they make money I guess. SV millionaires not like say movie stars

Agreed. The <50 folks I know who are in finance & tech are more hands on and allocate more dynamically. But the >50 wealthy people in construction, manufacturing, retail, etc tend to outsource to wealth managers. Different strokes.
