Why shouldn't wealthy people flaunt their wealth?
Imagine your relative encounters a big trouble and needs a million urgently, and he knows you are well-off, with tens of millions in assets.
At this moment, he might directly "morally request" from you, or even resort to more extreme methods, thinking this is the fastest solution.
If you kindly give him eight hundred thousand, he might not take it too seriously, after all, it's just a small amount for you, and there's not much pressure on you, so he might not feel that grateful.
Moreover, even if you give him three million, to him, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it won't completely solve his predicament.
On the contrary, he might think to himself, "He is so wealthy, giving me this little bit is not generous! If I had this much, I would definitely give him more without hesitation." But he would comfort himself by saying not everyone understands gratitude like he does.
Conversely, if he didn’t know you were so wealthy, and you lent him three hundred thousand, he might be incredibly touched, seeing you as his savior.
If you made a little more effort and gathered six hundred thousand for him, he might feel like you are his reborn parents, and he would be willing to do anything for you in the future.
