This is hardly surprising.

The rich person: "What's $5 for a tip? It's nothing, so why bother."

The poor person: "$5? That's a lot, and I can afford it, so let me give it."

Basically rich people value money less, and it doesn't occur to them that giving small amounts can still help people. And obviously it's not the custom to give large amounts as a tip.
