While wealth is most certainly required in order to empower on a deep political level, wealth does not necessarily and always corrupt. I have long rejected
the notion that certain famously wealthy individuals are necessarily suspect by virtue of their wealth alone. Don't just follow the money. It is much more
utilitarian to Follow their POWER. From that perspective one can perhaps gain insight into what motivates them to take action and what things they may
perceive to be a threat to their interests and, in some cases, a threat to their existence.
Yes.
