In anime, what makes a character powerful is their immense strength and arsenal of capabilities. Some are born with supernatural powers while others prove their worth by mastering combat techniques that are arduous. These characters have the ability to make the world kneel before them.
However, there are those for whom money is the answer to everything, and with just one transaction, they can do anything they want. With enormous wealth, these characters can buy a city, a country, or even the entire planet at their will.

As part of the investigation, he moved from hotel to hotel, which wasn’t cheap, and he even built a place in less than two weeks and told Detective Yagami that it cost him 20 million.
