Children of the Yuan Percent: Everyone Hates China's Rich Kids
Further down in the article, some interesting points about the motivations behind philanthropy."philanthropy is about more than just social responsibility—it’s about social stability."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.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.
