Too true, you only have to go to those Mediterranean resorts that are also used by the Russians to see what sudden, unexpected wealth does to people's good taste. The thing is, they have now been wealthy for some 15-20 years, but their taste hasn't improved.

Most common mistake i've seen would be, they impatiently want to spend with no investment.

Also if the owner of the money is a male, my goodness! He thinks buying lots of Italian class cars, renting high profile suites, smoking weed and drinking Martini and gathering bunch of girls around them gonna make them look good and the boss. "sigh"
