You realize though that the hype wouldn't last very long. For instance, Damon Dash (CEO of roc-a-fella) probably has that much $, has been on TV, and I bet most people wouldn't recognize him. Even that is a bad example though, but I bet after a couple weeks you could walk down the street fine. A month tops.

I'm talking about how everyone I know would suddenly be expecting me to give them money or pay for everything we do.

"You got to be careful of the company you keep," Chappelle says. "It's hard to know how much to say. One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.
"During my ascent, I've seen other people go through that wall to become really big. They always said that fame didn't change them but that it changes the people around them. You always hear that but you never really understand it. But now that I'm there that makes a lot of sense and I'm learning what that means. You have to have people around you that you can trust and aren't just out for a meal ticket."
