Why people change with money? Old friends...?

Question

Graduated highschool 15 years ago. A female friend from highschoo I know, was not one of the "popular" girls (yeah I know, but you know how highschool works, shallow) but I always respected her and never ignored her etc. Other classmates would sometimes make fun of her etc. She wasnt bad looking, only she did not hangout with the "cool girls". Yes, highschool is like that sometimes amd I was never a participant into judging people, I was always the guy who played sports, had many female friends and male friends, always with a mindset "lets all get along" we all have value. I liked her as a person, but never really hanged out as close friends.
8years ago, she started her own business, and started to do well this past 2 years, making big bucks etc. I admired that since 8 years ago, I would facebook her congratulating her, just pure "old senior friendship", I was not after anything else just recognizing her success and entrepreneur work. It was until she started to sell to multinational stores and celebrities her product, that I noticed a change. Messaged her thru instagram congratulating her 6 months ago but she just left me seen, not reply. I tried again 6 months later cause I thought she forgot, but same, sees the message and no reply. She posts about many things not just work, sometimes random things. Is she into her ego/head and now that is making tons of money seeing others beneath her? She was more responding back 5..10 years ago. More humble. What do u think?

Or maybe her business successes are just keeping her too busy to spend a ton of time on social media these days. It's not at all unusual for people to want to forget their high school years entirely.

People change throughout their life.  Our experiences, if we are paying attention, change our attitudes. And we learn from mistakes.

Often those who focus on material things become interested in only those who can benefit them.  
Often, instead, they are SO busy that they have to prioritize what they attend to ... and she may not have time for you.
Often, whether successful or not, we learn from failed relationships to NOT indulge in wishful thinking, but to understand that the first year or two of dating might turn out or might become a disaster. So we don't attach much importance to potential relationships, particularly if we are not interacting with the person IN person (90% of how we understand someone is contained in subtle signals we can only pick up on in person, so media communication is worthless).

People tend to lose interest after so many years unless there's regular contact. To say it another way, she's BUSY with the people who are actually a part of her life.
