Overall, wealth and power are intertwined and both are desired for various reasons. Some people want wealth for the comfort it provides, others for the power and influence it brings, and some for both. Ultimately, how one views and utilizes wealth can determine how much power and influence they can attain.

Wealth and control over wealth plays a huge role in obtaining power of some sort. The people running the organisations I discussed in this post control wealth but do not necessarily have a permanent relationship with it. Politicians do not last long and can be removed from power. The same can be said for CEOs. The strength appears to be in the structures they have built. Governments have become permanent but the people running have not. The same can be said about banks and possibly asset management companies.
