Addiction chooses no status, someone who's been into gambling at a normal life can get addicted to it. A rich guy and even a poor guy who gambles without control can become addicted to it too.
Rich people don’t get addicted easily because they have a lot of standards and limits that guide their habits and investment and that is the reason why they don’t easily get addicted even though some of them get addicted on the line.
Rich people’s limit helps them know:
when to stop and when they can still continue with the risks.
Because when you have limits, your limits will control the entire process even though having limit isn’t always the best option. For instance if a rich man walks into a casino and set a limit on himself, he will not exceed that even if he is on the winning side but a poor more get addicted easily if he is on the Winning side because of the desire and greed to have more money.
Rich people understand the system and so they would not love to fall for the trick but poor people think luck saves everything and do they just go on to gamble their entire fortune because of addiction.
