At the height of the dot-com boom of the 1990s, the local newspaper said Silicon Valley was minting 5 new millionaires a day (I thought the number was much higher than that).The PBS station in San Francisco had the show This Week in Northern California and one of its segments talked about the land office business some psychiatrists were doing treating Sudden Wealth Syndrome.
