There is no secret to the fact that money equals power, but it is not absolute power.
Just look at how many rich powerful people lost money in the last market collapse. If they had absolute power stuff like that would never happen.
One of the main reason the rich do not have absolute power is that they compete against each other instead of all working together. No matter how much money and power a person has he will still want to take more away from another rich powerful person.
