Are Rich People Worse Humans? 

From my experience rich people that got their money from parents are most likely jerks...People that gained their money by hard working are most generous and less jerks!(my experience)😀

Those born into rich families with money vs those starting poor and working their way up

You wanna see the real character of someone, just give him plenty money and see how its behavior changes.

Being born poor doesn't necessary mean you're morally superior.

Hmm.. I avoid eye contact and no where near rich.

I’m rich with poorness

"My father gave me a SMALL loan of $1,000,000"

I think the central reason behind the theory "rich people are mean" boils down to classism. People with more materials, resources and privileges don't need to be kind to just anyone, and can choose to dismiss people who are of a lower class than themselves as irrelevant and unimportant because they don't rely on them or strive to live like them. They have more opportunities, and they don't want to lose their power. In my experience, really wealthy people aren't outwardly mean, but if you get to know them a little more they pretty much are snobs, rude and inconsiderate. They dehumanize and dismiss those who are below them on the social class hierarchy. They only want to associate with others who have similar bank accounts as their own. They don't want increases in taxes, and when they "give back" they do so to make a show of their good character, not because they always treat others in egalitarian or considerate manners. Yet, they somehow make sure to keep their own kids from interacting with middle class kids who have single parents or attend public schools. Not all really wealthy people are the same in character, obviously. But in general, they are greedy, classist, uncaring and stick with their own kind.

I feel like If you aren’t born rich and had to work to become rich then those people are more nice and understandable than those who are just born with a silver spoon and just feel more entitled

I like how Jake Paul is used as an example in the description.

In the cookie example, I would split the last two cookies in thirds so that everyone gets the same.

Me: I hate rich people Also me: I must become a rich person

Money will make good people better and bad people worse.

You mean lizards?

When i get power in a group i actually have more empathy

Reminds me of a saying my grandmother used to tell me. "If you want to find a rich person, don't look at their bank account. Usually the richest person is the one begging on the corner." When I asked her why (I was young at the time,) she told me that wealth isn't how much money you have or how mamy things you own. It's what you do for others. Being kind to others makes you rich in ways money can't buy.

Rich people are jerks , till you become rich.

Dang that description tho, shots fired 😂

_"Rich ignore others when they look at them"_ *I'm not even rich and I'm scared to look at people looking at me...*

Let's put it simple: Educated rich people are not necessarily rich spoiled kids...

1:03 wait, people use google glass?!

Of course, there's already 3,364 comments, so no one will ever read this. But I find it odd how you can publish a video proving rich people to be jerks, and also publish a video on how good looking people are only perceived as jerks. Now of course I have no scientific backing to prove my point, so I could be wrong. But I think that the reason rich people are perceived as jerks is similar to your are good looking people jerks video. We ignore rude, poor people, and we focus more on people that are rich. There are nice rich people and there are rude rich people, but rude rich people stick out more in our mind because of a subconscious envy. Especially in regards to wealth, having money puts a target on your back, because people who are less wealthy than you automatically assume you are a selfish person without even bothering to try and see past the "wealth hatred" filter. There also tends to be a difference in philosophies or values between rich and poor people. Poor people tend to focus more on enjoying the present or following their passion, whereas rich people tend to focus more on preparing for the future. This difference in values causes a ton of misunderstanding, causing dislike or even bullying. Your point is validated in the "The Perfect Gooseys", where a janitor's kid is mercilessly bullied by rich kids, but keep in mind the same thing can happen to a smart kid who works to be successful in school but gets bullied by people that aren't working in school. I can attest to this first hand- I was bullied in school by people that hated me for being smart. One girl used to step on the back of my shoes in the hallway and throw books at me. Another group of people wouldn't let me play kickball with them, saying, "Sorry- we don't let nerds play." Some of those kids didn't make it to college, while I'm now in one of the top engineering programs in the nation. Now that I'm more successful than them, and because I will likely be wealthier than them in the future, does that make me the jerk? Who you view as mean depends on your perspective. Since engineers end up with a salary that puts then in the top 10-20% of the nation's wealth, that means the other 80-90% of people are poorer than that person and more likely to view them as a jerk. I'm not saying I've never run into rude rich people. But overall in my life, the people who have been the meanest to me have been the people that had less success than me and hated me for it. If you have different values and a different perception of the world, it can be really hard to get along. But understanding that different in philosophy and why rich and poor people do what they do is the first step to getting along better.

I had to come here just cause I had an encounter with a rich family who acted like hypocrites and would not try to understand our situation. I was like amazed. How can people be so mean?

If you're prosperous in this society, it's a sign of low morals Profit isn't materialized love, it's skimming off of other people's labour

This comment section needs to be blessed by Jesus

When I moved from a poor neighborhood to a more wealthy one, I immediately noticed a large increase in rude drivers.

I don’t want to be rich, I just want to not have to worry about finances from paycheck to paycheck.

I have a rich friend and she's so kind!^^ I really like her, I'm always happy when we can talk (couse she's living far away from me, and we not always got the time to meet)

0:30 This behavior may be more strongly correlated with horsepower than price. The faster a car feels, the more the driver feels like they are being held back by the cars in front. Obviously more horsepower usually means higher price, but not all the time. So I'd like to see a comparison of the correlation. I'll bet the correlation will be stronger with horsepower than with price.

I read some threads on reddit about rich people opinions most of them had said they had to ignore to help others or move away or just hide from others because it'd drive common people on the lower standards to be more dependent on them. Most of the parasites came from their own family asking around for free stuffs. Like constantly, if they're not helping then they'd blackmail or cut the family ties or whatever. Basically use you for your money.

I may not know the answer to the question in the thumbnail, but if i were to answer: “do poor people who call rich people jerks jerks themselves?” Yes, a resounding yes.

People hate rich ❌ Also they want to become rich ✅😆

You choose to be a jerk.

You don't need empathy to gain power I can guarantee u that

Also it's a lot of bias. You're more likely to remember a Mercedes cutting you than a regular old car.

*"Do you every get a feeling that most rich people are rude and self centered?"* Me: *coughs* Iron Man

I feel this video sends the wrong message. You mention that as you become more powerful (or rich) you lose empathy and “become more self centered”. While that may be true, it’s not because they suddenly loathe or feel better than others. But rather that when you become a leader, you are asked to care for a large number of people, objects, money, etc. and are forced to make decisions that may hurt an individual for the benefit of the whole. That’s why on average, less emotional, or detached personalities tend to be more successful leaders (and generally more liked and well respected too). Because they value the whole more than individuals. It’s not out of disrespect, but out of necessity to protect what is (or is perceived to be) the greater good. That’s why I feel it’s unfair to portray rich people as selfish or blind to other’s emotions. Obviously, there are rich people that are just jerks, but in most cases I would argue that there’s a bigger picture that often gets ignored in this discussion. Instead of focusing solely on the “what’s”, let’s also inquire the “why’s”

Money doesnt change you, it shows who u really are 🦂

I have run into some rude people from all walks of life but a majority of the time when I talk to people who have money most of them are pleasant and are happy to share advice.

For my experience rich people nice they give the hole class expensive treats once a month

interesting. I find the contrary to be true. When I cross the street, it's often the BMW or Merc which stops, not the Volvo, Kia or Toyota

Example: RiceGum.

Interesting, my experience as an IT consultant was the opposite. The rich knew how to be nice and valued others for their time (they know time is money so they appreciate yours being given to them) but the less wealthy or lower classes were more likely to be rude. Same is true in my current business, the wealthy will pay what they owe and usually also hold better conversations even whereas the less wealthy someone is, the more likely they are to try defraud me. That's just a certain bracket though, as the wealth of the individual drops below a certain threshold, they become nicer, likely because in that situation they rely on my services more. Conclusion, AHs, but most of them are middle class in my experience.

So can I hate rich people in peace now? Without being told that I'm jealous?

short answer: yes with the exception of a few rare gems

This comment section needs jesus

I had more empathy, but the more money I found myself making, the more I’ve hated things that people do. I guess my liking of my fellow humans have diminished the more I saw how selfish everyone is. I started to focus more on myself and saw an increase in my wealth as well.

No not all rich people are self center or rude

I live in a pretty high income area and grew up middle/low class and nah, most people are pretty nice, at worst you get snobby people, and those are usually kids who never worked or were spoiled

So in order to be rich you need empathy, and once you become rich you aren't as empathy. That sounds like selling your sosl to me.

Thank you for making this video and exploring this topic. You all are amazing!

How to learn things. ASAP! Love your channel brothers. :) Thumbs up!

You didn't look at how people get rich, because the exceptional rich people have most likely inherited their wealth. They get a different education and upbringing, which makes them jerks. People earning decent money most likely were middle class and had enough opportunities, but very few people are self-made millionaires, millionaires simply inherited wealth.

The only way to really know is to make me rich and see if I change from wonderful to jerk... Ok. I’m waiting.....

y do u draw ur characters so perfect for tripping lmaoo

Perhaps some rich people donate less of a percentage of their money to charity because they have a bigger tax rate and/or they believe they can help people more by investing in their companies and providing jobs.

Look at "golden parachutes". A CEO mismanages a company and gets fired, they still get millions, while the people who have to be laid off because of that mismanagement get squat.

Whoa, hold on a sec. People still use Google Glass?

Everyone talks bad about rich people but at the dame time they wish to be rich

You can't generalize all rich people to be jerks. That's like generalizing all black people to be thiefs or generalizing all white people to be school shooters,

Next video: is water wet?

Money changes people

MrBeast: "Am I a joke to you?"

my dad in 1992 was richest in his area so he decided to stop going to school and started to spend his dads money but after 10 years his father (my grandpa) died and they didnt got money left to spend so he moved to Sweden and started working here and now he thinks like this, ”why didn’t i go to school and learn good stuff” and he says that if i stop going to school he wont call me son again. he was rich and poor in his life, when he was rich he didnt want my mom when he became poor my mom wanted him. (my mom was poor and did help my dad to today and they are so much lovely together)

Selfishness literally pays off. Jordan Peterson speaks on people with lower agreableness tend to be at the top of dominance hierarchies. Secondly rich people justify being assholes by saying they work harder so have earned their superiority

George Orwell, an English socialist and writer, who cared very much for the working class spent a lot of time with other socialist thinkers, and ultimately asked the question in more words or less, "do you really care about the poor? Or is it that you just hate the rich?" The answer was the latter. People love to hate. Don't think you're above it just because you're morally posturing yourself. Don't be sanctimonious.

Guys your videos are incredibly awesome. I admire every one of them.

Thanks for this eye opening video!!!!!!💯💯💯👍👍👍💖❤💜🧡💛💚💙

Alll the rich people disliked this video

Show this to Bill Gates.

If you think taking care and loving yourself, having a high self esteem and can saying no to people for your own good is equal to being a jerk then you are a fool. Let's just accept the fact that not all people are grow up in the same house as you do, that making us different from one and another. Mind your own goddamn business fellas.

I love the video ❤❤ Can you make some facs about whales like how often do they blink or whas was the biggest whale ever found

Yes we must rise against the borgeoisie, comrades!

I appreciate the work you guys do and your explanations of how science and/or human behavior works. It has been very helpful to me and I hope you guys continue.

Super fascinating, thanks guys!

Wait, y'all actually thought rich people donate more?! I've always had the idea that money makes you greedy, so you're probably gonna start thinking that you're better than others, therefore not donating as much. *THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE*

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love you guys!! These educational videos are interesting and I look forward to getting the next notification. Keep up the good work!

I work in the Hamptons and this is absolutely true. I'm not rich myself but the people I work for are rich and there is a significant difference in how polite rich people are vs the middle class. Normal, blue collar people are way more interactive and patient than the rich people.

I often ride my bike in my neighborhood and I'll often wave and smile at folks if I see them outside. I've noticed that the bigger the house, the more likely I am to receive a scowl or be blatently ignored while people with regular, moderate houses are quick to return the positive gesture.

This audible ad made me remember I had a book I have to read by the end of summer...

I'm just here for the comments😂

Maybe the rich are more rude because everyone always shits on them. Ever think of that? When was the last time you saw a movie where the main protagonist was a competent, rich businessman? It's usually a struggling businessman who's "too nice" or a poor social worker or a lawyer who works probono for the little guy. Maybe if we stop pointing the finger at rich people and start asking how do we get rich they'll tell us.

Love your videos!!

You should do a video on why you're leg's fall asleep after having them crossed and the tingly sensation you feel. Or vedio on how cramps on your body work?.🤔 I love watching the illustrations 🤗🤗🌹

Wow. When I was in college I was a very social guy. I graduated 2 years ago. Now I’m in a position that makes more than most(not filthy rich though). I have noticed that I am less social and I wouldn’t call myself a jerk but I am less emotionally invested in others, mainly caring about myself. Great video!

if a cashier gave me more change than needed i would keep it but not because im rich. it's because im broke asf

They ain’t jerks they just chase bags 😂

I use to be best friends with this other kid and ever since his dad won the lottery he's been really messed up.

I don't make much eye contact. But im always looking out for others, who are actually in need, because had no one looked out for me, i'd be in a bad position in life. We need each other for money, but we need each other more to keep us emotionally safe from bad people and to reduce the amount of bad people over time. The less bad people the brighter future we will have as humans.

I definitely won't give the money back to a company that charges me 5$ for a coffee, if THEY made a mistake.

Love this

People hating on rich people, calling them selfish jerks Mrbeast: -__- really

Just be excellent to each other, dudes, and party on.

1:32 doesn't make sense 4.2% from $25k is $1050 2.7% from $100k is $2700 So rich are still more generous. Donation is not equal to taxes. If Bill Gates donates 1% of his yearly income it's far more than guy with $25k income donating 4.2%

I think your study only works at the US

I can relate so much to this video it's not even funny. That is so me with the C300 AMG 2019 benz! :D

If you have earned that money then NO. But if you were born in a rich family then probably YES.

... and so the narrow-minded stereotypes continue. "Being Rich" and "Acting Rich" are two completely different things. True financial wealth has absolutley nothing to do with how much you spend on cars, clothes or toys. The wealthiest people I know drive Subarus, Jeeps and Chevys. Please read "The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley. It tells a very different story.

Nah. I know a guy who came from a very wealthy family, his dad is a ceo and he’s a surgeon himself, but he’s the most humble, sweet guy I have ever seen. He’s good looking, talented and smart and yet he never brague about it, and his friends are from différents circles.

2:53 Really, I'm not rich and I don't interact with my family while I'm doodling.
