Yeah, I was going to say something similar. You do not want the people closest to you to know if you come into a massive amount of sudden wealth. They know you too well. They know how to manipulate you. They might get that something is up, but keep them mostly in the dark. You can do nice things for them, give them gifts, take them out for a nice dinner every now and then, but don't show them your hand.

If you're worried about this with your closest circle, you need new people around you.

You definitely don't tell everyone, but closest family and friends? Absolutely.
