I'd be curious to see how many studies controlled for relative emotional value of money, eg. by looking for differences in behavior for all groups at various values. One could hypothesize that people might be more willing to share an unexpected "windfall", the perception of which could feasibly scale with one's emotional perception of wealth.

No, it was tested with games and stuff, having wealth reduce cooperative behaviors https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01973533.2018.1463225?journalCode=hbas20 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01973533.2018.14... It should be noted that wealth is a proxy for status and for power, so it might not be wealth itself that reinforce sociopathic/anti-cooperative behaviors, but status or power, but it is hard to dissociate.
