Much of it is jealousy and envy.
More rational reasons are because a lot of "self-made" people exploited and abused others to get to where they are and a lot of "inherited wealth" people do not understand how hard the work that the poor do actually is.
At the end of the day it comes down to the value of people. The wealthy are often viewed as overvaluing themselves and undervaluing others. Sometimes it is right, sometimes it is wrong. Just like every other group of people, people are people and the thing about people is that they are all different.

@Picklebobble2 You keep denying it's hatred...even though you called it hatred and you're trying to justify the hatred. And I acknowledged your hatred from the very beginning. So, what?
Again, you called it hatred. Do I really have to quote you a third time?
Show you it's hatred? Why? You already know it is. Which is why you keep alternating between denials and justifications. You're trying to rationalize it, and you're failing.
Your hatred isn't wisdom, no hatred is. Your hatred is envy.

@Sicarium You're an idiot who assumes much from nothing.

@Picklebobble2 I assumed nothing. I read your words. You made it obvious.
Your hatred is not wisdom. Simply as that.

when we play monopoly we don't hate the winner ? each rich person was once a kid born in a world where there is a certain game going and the game has rules and you can either win or lose. they became good at the game, that's all. hate the game if you're gonna hate something.

Depends. For those struggling and working hard it seems those born into wealth have an unfair advantage.
@bijouxbroussard not every person with wealth was born into it. The majority struggled and worked hard for what they have.
Hating someone for what they have is a waste of energy.

@Callmewhatyouwill I know that, and didn’t say everyone was. But the OP asked a question, which I answered based upon one observation and opinion.
