Unfortunately there are more things making people jerks than status/wealth, and I'd like to think not all the rich act/think like jerks. I think many times the inferiority complex makes for many of the players in this league. Same as some people reassure themselves by getting big cars, or expensive watches for the sake of showing off, even if they're poor, some individuals would act like jerks as a way to hide their own insecurities when they have the chance. I would even say that this is the problem behind many rich jerks: rather than just feeling superior to regular folks, they feel constantly inferior, worthless among their circles.
