Wealth by itself does not do anything. It is an inert resource that does nothing until used. Therefore it is not useful for any kind of polarization unless it is used by the entity to do something.
Some entities may equalize the quantity of imaginary financial wealth they have in this system with their own self-worth or self-importance, and they may be able to negatively polarize like that somewhat, but that's still a pretty weak way to polarize.
If the entity uses his/her wealth to advertise for itself, take credit for things which s/he didnt do, exaggerate its own being, influence other people, lie to them to manipulate them and so on, then wealth could be a useful polarization tool.
Additionally extreme wealth on this planet does not come from money or real estate or the worth of things which you can physically have or hold, but from the valuation of the stocks.
Incidentally stocks also happen to determine control of large organizations - if someone has a controlling share in a corporation, s/he is its private tyrant and can do whatever it wants with the organization and those people inside it. Of course, this is reduced somewhat by regulations in places where the law gives extreme freedom for private tyranny like US, and its reduced considerably further in other countries where they have proper labor and corporate regulations. But still, the current negative economic system allows entities to command gigantic organizations as if they were their personal fiefdoms. Think of Walton family who owns Walmart, an organization with 3 million people in it, which is economically larger than ~120 countries. Its a major power, which they have in their hands. Useful for negative polarization.
