Children of the Yuan Percent: Everyone Hates China's Rich Kids
Further down in the article, some interesting points about the motivations behind philanthropy.<p>"philanthropy is about more than just social responsibility—it’s about social stability."<p>So other than a genuine desire to do good or vanity seeking that can motivate philanthropy, you have a third element in China - preventing a revolt by the poor on the rich. If you give just enough, you'll keep the poor subdued.<p>I wonder if there are similar motivations for super rich American philanthropists. My guess is they're less worried about revolt and more motivated by vanity.
