I&#x27;m unsure how this anecdote proves anything about a correlation between empathy and wealth.<p>Whether you are rich or poor, you can have empathy. If you&#x27;re interested in empathy, I suggest you watch this brenee brown video. The video may seem anecdotal but she has done a lot of research about shame and vulnerability and... having read her books, money is not something that comes up in the research.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=1Evwgu369Jw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=1Evwgu369Jw</a>
