I understand your point, but it's really his bloodline and position that's the bulk of his power, not his wealth. The position grants the wealth, but the inverse is definitely not implied. A random private citizen worth $1 trillion would be much less powerful and probably much less brazen. (Though certainly still very powerful.)
