Which is more important

Wealth and power aren't the same thing because wealth can have a net worth attached to it but power is not quantitative. However this is obviously some correlation between the two in some instances, as with high salaries for CEOs--but not in all cases. In general, which do you think is the more important, wealth or power?

If I had to pick one, I'd say wealth, only because a lack of power is a little easier to deal with than a lack of wealth.

Honestly, I don't find either one particularly important, but I voted just for the sake of one over the other

What kind of Power? I voted for wealth, because it can buy some kinds of power, or some kinds of immunity from some power.

Power over everything includes power over all money.

I voted for power. Wealth just makes problems. A little money.. sure.. but outright wealth..meh. I rather have the power to change things. (I assume you can't trade one for some of the other in this...)
