People respect you, people follow you, people think you are a god. Basically meaning, you can do whatever you want and people still follow because you have so much power and respect.
Obama has lots of power. Pope has lots of power. Hitler had lots of power.

If you have that kind of power, then you can also get money in a literal snap.
RE: POWER vs. MONEY - BAndrew - 05-01-2015
In that case I choose money. I don't care about power (by this meaning) and don't want to be anything like Obama, the Pope, or Hitler.
NOTE: If you have power you can earn money and if you have money you can gain power. So it comes down to preference.

Power can result in money!
Money won't make you powerfull, or powerful and then when you are broke, you are NOTHING!

A human life is ever so short. Ones time on this tiny blue rock is only a spec in the spasm of the age of the Earth. Power is the only way that a human can outlive that of his life. Remembrance of actions that change the world is what keeps one alive after death. It is Power that is the carrier for one to really be alive. And in the end, the only thing humans can do is try not to be forgotten for as long as possible. Money will never do this unless used to acquire the Power of remembrance. Power gives a man the ability to burn a memory of himself into another, and from that memory it is written down in books, told in stories, and passed on from generation to generation.
So yes, I would answer Power.

What if you buy a bunch of companies and name them after yourself?
RE: POWER vs. MONEY - J.R.S.S. - 05-02-2015
That is one way, yes. Though it is of importance (perhaps the most important) that people know what lies behind the name.

money buys power

Power tuns in to money (maffia for example)
