Yes, sometimes well most of the time it does, it like brain washes the person. Money can do very strange things to people. You could think someone is very nice, but if it comes down to money they wouldn't think twice about killing you or something. It's a sin. It changes people because they start thinking they are better then everyone, but they also have to watch out because a lot of people will be after their money, and so they really can't tell if someone likes them for them or their money. Money is nice but it comes with a lot of baggage.

Well money can't exactly ruin a person's personality that is if you use the money in a good way and not waste in parties, clubs, and clothes etc. Not only can that be wasting money but also ruining on how you really are I mean like friends can betray you and everything. But if you use it in a good way like donating money and helping people with it. It will actually make you a better person so it all depends on how you think.

MOney can ruin a person's personality because having so much money the person would have a boost in confidence and may feel high and superior over everyone.So they tend to be bossy and they boast a lot.But sometimes it doesn't sometimes money can make a person be really appreciative and tend to be humble with there money for example Tyler Perry.

It depends on the person and how they were raised when they were kids. Look at Warren Buffett and Bill Gates or Andrew Carnegie and Samuel Insull of the past. They're giving away much of their wealth to needy charities, the arts and sciences education, and are funding research facilities to find cures to diseases. They're not going to give a dime to their kid's inheritance. Warren Buffett said inheritance is the same as welfare. Earn your own money. That's what I plan on doing when I become a multi-billionaire since I went to Catholic schools. "Help those who are less fortunate."

I don't think that money ruins a person's personality. I think money allows a person's true personality to show.

Generally money ONLY applifies what is already present. People will blame the money but really it was in the person all along.
We may all be effected a small % by money but it really lies with in the person themselves.

Money is power, more money = more power. when too much power, people can get out of control. Greed set in, and the expectation get higher and unfilfiled until one day the person is corrupted that he is unaware.
But if the person able to control his 'power' and his desire well, it should change a person at all.

Yes, in most cases I think. In my case, I am the same JERK all the time. That is one of my better traits. However, I've known many people who went from poor to rich and they turned into different people who I did not like to be around. In several cases, they went back to poor, but I no longer liked them at that point.
