Power and money are intertwined necessity.
To an extent I would say they are a two sided coin.
Without money your powers are powerless, and without power you won't operate smoothly.
So I go for power.
I can get money if I use my powers well.
Some people have money but don't know how powerful they are because they are not using it to influence the society in helping ways.
Meanwhile some have power but they don't know they can as well generate money through their powers and be wealthy enough to be more influential.
