    They have more money than non-rich people.

    They have money.
    Other than that they share the same character traits as other people. And those vary from person to person.

    Good:  

    -Sometimes they can be altruistic and good and lend to charity;

    -They are often ambitious and hard-working.

    Bad:

    -They are often snooty and arrogant;

    -They are often impatient and demanding;

    -They sometimes don't know how to spend their wealth; 

    -They are sometimes irresponsible and wasteful;

    -They sometimes have an unrealistic view of the real world.
