Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

Bullshit. They were born this way mainly because they were born rich.

Why? They're either born with the money or make the money, but either way the money has turned them into terrible people.

I'd argue that you have to be horrible already to have loads of money. Any reasonably good person would be using their excess wealth for a good cause rather than building ego rockets.

Money = power, and power corrupts. I'm sure there are some people who are horrible before they become wealthy, but I think money (and power) has a way of blunting peoples' empathy.

Normal people stop exploiting others before they reach having unfathomable amounts of money. So somebody with different values and morals will never have so much money since it is impossible to make such money without being corrupt and a piece of shit

I'd be willing to take part in an experiment to confirm this hypothesis. I'll wait for delivery, each day until 3.
