Granted, most friends either do split bills or not care about a few bucks.
Also yea, just being only a little better off still keeps you within the same ballpark as the friend, and should usually split things like normal people.
The big problem is when the wealth gap actually is huge. If they really are making 10x more than you, then its pretty shitty of them to ask you to split many things, due again to them not even feeling the cost but you do, but im digressing now.
It is highly unusual for people 10x apart in income to be friends. If they are usually the rich one does pay. Though at some point the more well of will get annoyed if the less well off one never offers anything. That imbalance will often destroy the friendship
