Money is economic power, and those who seek power for its own sake are evil or stupid. Those who seek power for another end are easily corrupted, so yes, too much power can destroy you.

The only way to stop one power is with another equal power.

Then that is seeking power for the sake of justice.

There are some cretins who seek to amass and consolidate power because it makes them feel important or satisfies their god complex.
