That's an over-generalization, that's not necessarily true. I think it's rather prejudice, and arrogant, of you to assume that just because someone grew up in the ghetto, and suddenly became successful, that they wouldn't have the intelligence to hire a professional to look out for their interests.

Any entertainer with some sense will hire a professional to manage their careers and finances. There have been plenty of successful entertainers, that don't hire family and friends to manage them, that get into trouble somewhere down the line. Also, there have been plenty of so-called "professional" managers that mismanage client funds - intentionally or otherwise - leaving their clients in dire straits.
