The rich are literally sick

See this article. Some of the research indicates the following:

Average people are more likely to identify with their own communities, the very rich instead identify with a global elite class.

Wealthy people are less empathetic and tend to think of themselves and others in terms of fixed traits, instead of attributing a person’s emotional state to context and surroundings.


The rich tend to think of income inequality — from which they benefit — as the just result of meritocracy rather than a system rigged in their favor.

The extremely wealthy are more likely to behave selfishly with little regard for others.

Very wealthy people are also more likely to behave unethically, less likely to give to charities and displayed higher levels of narcissism and entitlement.
