Well yes and no. Depends how you get the money. I mean you can have say, 500m invested in a managed portfolio with any of the private or investment banks and technically you've got no more power than the average person. From another perspective though it's the money itself that has power, even if you're not directing that half a bil around it's still having an effect on markets.

That influence itself is power is it not? Even if you don't wield it you still have it.
Surely latent power still counts. Speak softly and all that.
Just some random perspectives to mull on.
