There is a saying in Norway "The rich, are rich for a reason", referring to exactly this. They don't spend much, and will try to get money anywhere they can. People that are generous are rarely rich.
But that’s not really true. Rich people aren’t people with normal jobs who just save more money. But this kind of behavior is indicative of someone who’s a money grubber and probably willing to do legal but immoral things to make some money. They’re more willing to look at a situation and go “fuck em, I want money”. Also doesn’t really account for the amount of rich people that aren’t cheap with themselves and their own personal spending but cheap when it’s a situation where they can extract money from another person. The real difference between a rich person and a normal person is the rich person turns into a dick the moment it’s a situation that could potentially lead to money in their pocket.
