The subset of people who act on those abhorrent drives because of powerplay facilitated by wealth (or other power imbalances) is larger than those that act on it because their inherrent need but lack the means: the former contains people who would otherwise never considered such transgressions. If I’m not making much sense perhaps I can try to formulate it like this: the minimum age someone considers acceptable decreases with each million they accumulate, starting with some base age. That base age might or might not be already below what is socially or legally accepted.
Power corrupts. Becoming extremely wealth is becoming mentally ill (or the other way around) and it’s time people see it like that instead of a fucking virtue.

That’s a pretty bold claim - what’s your basis for saying that?
I think I broadly understand your point and generally agree with you, just trying to understand your position
