Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Sure there are.

You have no idea of VALUE.
That makes it very difficult to understand the other 99% of the world.

It's hard to learn how to KEEP all that money if you've never had to work for it also.

You never really know if people like you for yourself or your money.
On the other hand, you have to be very careful because people WILL use you FOR your money.

A lot of times you get a very false sense of happiness.
It's why you see a lot people of great wealth blow it all, become drug/alcohol addicted, in therapy...they find all that money doesn't make them happy.

It makes it very difficult to learn to be able to process things, you know, getting from A to Z.
If you've always been at "Z", you find you don't know the path to get there.

It can also make you lazy, unproductive, and basically a complete uneducated bore.
If you have the money....by bother, right?

Yeah, it's got it's disadvantages.
