I'm sure that the amount and type of lying would make a difference, but in most of these stories, the guy's a pretty nice dude who hides his riches in order not to seem too hoity-toity. (does anyone say that in RL at all?) At the reveal, the other clutches his pearls and is overcome with the depth of the deception he's been dealt. And I'm overcome with WTFness.
Mind you, I'm a little crabby now because I've run out of cookies and that might be coloring my response. :)
