If you ever won the lottery, you'd probably have distant cousins hitting you up out of nowhere to 'catch up'. Decades have crawled by without a word from any of your distant family members and now that you're a millionaire, everyone seems really interested in how you're doing. This teenager in our next story realized exactly how quickly sudden cash flow would turn his family sweet (then sour).

After becoming the sole inheritor of his grandpa's estate, the 17-year-old, u/Maleficent_King_4830, was shocked. Although he had an excellent relationship with dear ol' Pappy, he was floored when he learned that once he finished college, he'd have a nice little nest egg of 6-figures of cash waiting for him. But after the good news of his future wealth broke into the family group chat, suddenly his step-siblings and stepfather, unrelated to his grandpa at all, seemed to think they were entitled to a cut.

Read on to see how this teen stopped his greedy family in their tracks after they tried to desecrate the memory of his favorite grandparent's wishes.
