rich people in general, who by and large I think make absolutely terrible decisions about charity
I think this follows from a more general fact about people. If anything, I would guess that there’s a positive correlation between wealth and EA values: that a higher (though still depressingly low) proportion of wealthy people donate to effective causes than is true of the general population? Would be interesting to see actual data, though.
