What music do rich people listen to?
Most pop music is rebellious friday night prole stuff. How does having money change ones musical tastes?
Bourdieu thought the bourgeois preferred restrained, calm music, but I don't know how this translates into the age of instant digital music.

Rich people mostly listen to the same shit poor people listen to except the musician sing and play it in front of them

I've been to some rich people parties in Canada, i can give some clues:
Rich people in parties listens to music to nake girl dance, they dont really give a fuck. Salsa pop, reggaeton, moombathon, etc..... they have extremely good food, wines, and great vodka rhum cognac, but they bring also cheap and disgusting beers.
When theyrr home, some rich guy will probably listens and play some easy listening jazz : Nat King Cole, Sinatra, etc...
Its really that simple.

Lastly, they also have free tickets sometimes to go to your their nearest urban symphony orchestra.
They go there mostly to show off , but im pretty sure they dont really give a fuck bout the music

Fucking plebs
Anyway why would rich people listen to different music? Old intellectual rich people might listen to patrician music. But young heirs will simply put on miley or bieber. Source: my cousin is rich (not ultra mega rich but still)

Well, I'm more interested in people who have never eagerly awaited a paycheck, so here rich means "son of someone with at least two or three million in assets."
Sets the bar pretty low, but basically all they need is a sense of security, and the opinion that society is doing pretty OK. Better if they are the grandchild of someone with those kinds of assets (who managed to hold onto them.)

They mostly listen to the same music poor people listen to. The cultured aristocrat is not an archetype the wealthy look up to in a capitalist entertainment oriented society. You can even see big european fashion houses like Balmain or Givenchy reacting to being referenced in pop music, steering away from their classicist and refined aesthetic towards a definetely populist one, associating with Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.
The fact that our culture gives the most importance to money over everything else means the wealthy are more preoccupied with displays of unbridled oppulence than anything else. Refined taste requires restraint. Usually, the most cultural life is found in the middle class, who aren't defined by how poor or how rich they are, and will most often try to show their status through education and taste. This is where artists most often emerge from.
Wealth doesn't make any difference to musical taste

this is pretty spot on, there are definitely rich and poor people who become artists but it's usually in the middle class
then there are the snooty trust fund kids you meet at art/music school
