Thanks for following up! This evidence you offer doesnāt persuade me that most EAs are extremely rich guys because itās not arguing that. Did you mean to claim that most EAs who are rich guys are not donating any of their money or more than the median rich person?
I also donāt feel particularly persuaded by that claim based on the evidence shared. What are the specific points that are persuasive in the linksāI couldnāt see anything particularly relevant from scanning them. As in nothing that I could use to make an easy comparison between EA donors and median rich people.
I see that āMean share of total (imputed) income donated was 9.44% (imputing income where below 5k or missing) or 12.5% without imputation.ā for EAs and āaround 2-3 percent of incomeā for US householdsā which seems opposed to your position. But I havenāt checked carefully and I am not the kind of person who makes these sorts of careful comparisons very well.
I donāt have evidence to link to here, or time to search for it, but my current beliefs are that most of EAs funding comes from rich and extremely rich people (often men) donating their money.
