A researcher has made a that says having a lot of money makes you a person. Professor Paul Piff spent ten years looking at the of rich people and found that their behaviour was very to the behaviour of poor people. Dr Piff said rich people are more to break rules, not follow the law, and not care about other people. He also said people cheat more at games and are likely to help other people. Professor Piff told the BBC that: "Wealth makes you more [worried about] your own interests, your own , your own welfare." He added that rich people think their goals and needs are the most thing in their life.

Professor Piff also found that poorer people are more than rich people. The poor give a higher of their money to help others than the rich. He said poorer people give one-and-a-half as much as richer people. He said: "The wealthier you are, the less generous you are. You give smaller portions away to [other people]." However, he did say that rich could change their and become nicer and more generous. He said rich people can help others more if you tell them that giving and helping is a good thing. He said: "Reminding people of the of cooperation, or the of community, causes wealthier individuals to be as [] as poor people.”
