Poverty is a grinding thing, it tries to pull you back in many different forms. I don't think it's simply hatred/contempt, it's much deeper, it's pain, anger, a fight to stay above and a scarring of the past.

Yes, all that. I have zero direct experience of it, but a largish sample set. I’d say about 20% have turned “evil” turning into the warders of the prisons they escaped.

Followed very closely by privileged geeky techies who never had many friends but got really, really rich. Their contempt for non techies who can't make a buck is truly staggering. "Learn to code, loser!"

In my experience it's those who broke out with the help of others, then pride results in fooling themselves into thinking they did it alone. Then they're are as you said super judgmental of those who are still where they've been. Staying humble/acknowledging help is crucial.
