These people hoard money, every penny is as important as the next 1000 dollars.

Oh absolutely.

Had a friend that was absolutely minted.

Went out for dinner with him once.

He used coupons (groupon?). He complained about the food and made them bring out another plate. Twice.

He didn’t want to tip.

It was embarrassing. The food was good. He made a complete arse of himself and saved a few £/$ and was clearly pleased with himself.

Clearly these people are rich for a reason but FFS. I apologised to the staff for his behaviour.

I have heard similar stories, old as time it seems, sorry to hear you've had to apologise for someone else's behaviour! A coupon user too, double embarrassment by association :/

The coupon use isn’t an issue. I wouldn’t begrudge someone making savings where they can. It was the attitude.

Of course not, in isolation its A-Ok, but with the rest of what you described it's a part of the attitude you say you dislike, & reasonably so.
