Do you think wealthy people tend to be greedy?

Question

I know this is a generalization statement.. this is something my MIL says a lot and I personally don’t agree that this is the case. I come from a wealthy family who are very generous, and I do feel she says this to be a personal stab at me. 
But anyways my story is besides the point. What’s your opinion?

Answer

In my experience poorer people value money more and spend it on more worthwhile things, and are happy to share because they know what it's like to live without. Richer people tend to be disconnected to what living paycheck to paycheck is like and hold onto their money more

Answer

Most of the wealthy peopel i know all donate / head charities or local organizations

Answer

Definitely greedy the more money the worst. A nice proof was just of this Amazon guys ex wife who they said she donated 18bn. Sounds like a hell a lot of money to donate, but just think she still has 18bn left and that is more than one can spend. And the sad part is if they would pay their workers a fair salary they wouldn't have as much in the first place, so greed indeed. Also I wouldn't be surprised if the charity was some how connect with her and it was just to avoid taxes.

Answer

ehh it's generalized I do think there are rich ppl who evade taxes some might be generous, but never seen it at least not towards lower classes. most money will go to their schools and neighborhoods leaving lower class in the same situation or worse. if rich ppl invest in poor neighborhoods there's gentrification raising up the costs of living thus moving/pushing out those who can't no longer afford to live there. it's a sad reality.
lower or working class know the value of hard earned money some save up, others do the stupid thing of taking out a car of the dealer to show it off while it hasn't been paid off🙄🙄 others play victims moneywise they'll say why don't you help me out since you earn more, like out of envy. this is why some ppl don't progress bc of envy instead of focusing on themselves on how to get better rather than have things handed out or an easy out

Answer

Answer

I’ve seen rich people that are truly generous and I’ve seen rich people that are greedy. I guess it depends.

Answer

I think it just depends on the person. I’ve met a lot of stuck up not caring about anything or anyone wealthy people. But I’ve also met some who are very caring and give to people all the time. Some who go to other countries and help people in need too. It depends on the person

Answer

In my experience yes. Again, obviously a generalization as you say but yes. I've got some very wealthy family members (come from a family of CAs and such) and I've worked for some very rich people, and they typically are.
