Rich people learn how to game the system? I'm shocked!
More likely that their donations are supplied by their own social network, which I'm pretty sure is the case for most GoFundMe users...
So wealthier people will tend to have networks of people with similar socioeconomic status, and the same would be true for poorer people.
Not really surprising which ones get more money, nor is it necessarily nefarious.
Exactly, when their former frat bros and sorority sisters see, they are more likely to be in a position to provide some assistance than me and my neighbors.
