Accomplishing their goals of course. Why on Earth would you use absolute wealth?
Anyway, you can't translate well between different times and situations.
Finally, really large amounts of wealth aren't even well defined, partly because large assets aren't liquid and partly because the largest assets are frequently unofficial political power.
I was not recommending that.
