I can assure you that "spreading his wealth" was the furthest thing from his mind. Again, "gift" was a four letter word to him and miserly to the point of cruelty to others. "His money" was "his money". Period!
I noted on some thread recently how he cut his housekeeper's pay after she told him she had lost her other job. Why? "Because I figured now, she had nowhere else to go".
I don't think refusing to spend money on oneself is miserly - but his treatment of the housekeeper certainly fits the bill. I wonder if he had some type of mental condition?
To me, one of the "perks" of being rich, would be the ability to treat loyal employees very, very well. (I would enjoy that.)
