Most everyone I considered a friend who "made it big" simply moved to a different social circle.

Self-correcting problem, I guess. ;-)

It's not surprising in tech to have co-workers who are fabulously wealthy. Usually if they're still working then it's no different than working with anyone else. One thing I like about rich tech workers is they often buy cool cars (like a McLaren I saw a day or two ago) and park them at their companies or around town.
