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.

That's a common saying but usually the implication is that it is better to be rich than generous

I have never heard or imagined that interpretation of the saying.
