Money and Celebrities. Choosing a Personal Financial Model

Every person has their own character, which also influences their financial well-being. One could even argue that there is a monetary destiny – some have a happy one, while others do not. But to remove the “crown of poverty,” one does not need to see a fortune teller. It is enough to study the mistakes of others and change one’s own financial model. And it is best to learn from the experiences of the great and famous – it broadens one’s horizons and is more memorable.
After all, talent and fame do not guarantee a person wealth and prosperity and do not serve as absolute protection against poverty. Why was the Pushkin family always in debt, while Bunin squandered even the Nobel Prize completely? Why was Chekhov able to buy a villa in Crimea, while Nekrasov left an inheritance to three beloved women? How did the October Revolution affect the fortunes of celebrities? How was the personal budget of the Romanov dynasty and Soviet leaders formed?
