Lots of good advice here about how to handle your feelings.

I'll add one more idea: it might help you to consider your friend's feelings. How is this affecting him?

Becoming wealthy rapidly is obviously a great problem to have, but it can also be an extremely disorienting problem. Friendships change (as you know), relationships break down. Some people are ruined by success - they fall out with friends, marriages collapse, drink and drugs etc

It's like gravity was switched off for you only, but you still have to walk on the ground.

I'm saying this not to help your friend but because it might help you handle this, if you can understand his challenge.

Though, if you do understand, then maybe you can be a good friend.

It's a good point. In particular I feel it's going to make parenting challenging because his children will know growing up that they will never need to work.
