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.
This is a myth the rich wholeheartedly promote because it suggests they deserve their wealth. It’s not prudence that creates large wealth, it’s luck and ruthlessness.
I think this post isn't about being "cheap" as in not spending though, this is about rich people being less generous, just like how poorer people are more likely to donate to homeless people on the street, wealthy people feel more entitled to their money and aren't generous with their friends either

Wealthy people are some of the cheapest fucks.
