Is it true that wealth affects empathy?
Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items partially support the idea: one finds perceived customer wealth shapes empathy-mediated helping, and another notes wealthy groups are stereotyped as low in empathy. A Chinese review lists compassion as a mediator of upper-class behavior, but none directly tests whether wealth causes changes in empathy.
