I think the extreme wealth can be an awesome roleplaying opportunity. Suddenly the PCs are disproportionately wealthy and famous, and in my game's case they didn't slay the dragon but rather drove it away on a murderous rampage in the south.
After boasting too freely at the post-adventure feast, the PCs learned that there are serious tax implications to the loot they found, and that many residents of Sandpoint have issued spurious claims that the treasure the PCs found is the rightful property of Sandpoint residents and was stolen by Blackfang in the first place. At least half of the governing body of Sandpoint is after the PCs for political or financial gain, making the PCs extortion targets. Many NPCs blame the PCs for the horrors unleashed by Blackfang after being driven away but not slain.
There is a saying that friends come and go, but enemies collect. The PCs instant stardom has surely won them many powerful enemies.
