Any other youngest siblings that are more successful than your older siblings?

TL; DR? Youngest sibling, sort of the black sheep, own a business that does well but my family thinks I must be drowning in debt because I can't have a successful business

I'll try to keep this brief and to the point but provide a little context as well.

I'm the youngest of 6 siblings, and definitely the "black sheep" of the family. I dropped out of high school, I a single father of 2 kids where as they are all married, and I like to live a fun lifestyle. I smoke a lot of weed, I like to go partying on speedboats at 2 am with friends, and I ride too fast on motorcycles..I just like excitement. Siblings are all pretty conservative. Used to partake in the "whacky baccy" themselves (weed) as my mum calls it. Although we have all always been close, and no one makes it obvious I'm sort of the outcast sibling, the vibes sort of always been there.

With that said, I'm the most successful as well (strictly financially speaking) and by a long shot. I don't ever discuss money with my family, and I truly think they believe my business is all "smoke and mirrors" since they simply don't understand it.

I dont wear fancy clothes besides some nice watches, but the only way it would be obvious is my vehicles. I store most of them locally, but due to changing locations I had all my vehicles at my house at once. My family doesn't know about 4 of them, and seeing as my father/brother/sister are higher ups in the local auto industry, they know the values of my collection.

Oldest brother stopped by unexpectedly, brought the cars up, then sort of talked to everyone about how I'm being reckless and blah blah blah. My dad was offering me money to help pay bills and I told him I didnt need it. Sister pressuring me to "take the cars back" thinking maybe they are all leases and I'd be ok with repos on my credit. It all blew up last night in a group text, where they said they setup a financial counseling session for me. I sort of blew up and told them all to "mind their own fucking business" at this point.

I understand my response was bad. I need to apologize and know they are coming from a good place/concern. No matter how many times I tell them I'm good, the problems not going away. I feel if I were the oldest it would be all "congratulations" on the business, not doubt and concern.

It's gotten old and I'm starting to not want to talk with them much anymore. We've all been close but none of them take me seriously. I'm the youngest so I must not know best.

Anyone else go through something like this?
