Agreed. Wealth is one type of power. Or maybe some types of power are wealth.
In fact, both wealth and power are pretty vague, or at least context-dependent words. They’re not a precise description of anything, and probably should be avoided if you want to actually communicate. Like so many of these discussions, don’t try to narrow down a definition of a common term that’s difficult, instead just use more words to describe what you want to describe.
