Wouldn't you agree that beauty has more liquid power?

The beauty is what is done with each. With they use it for good or evil?
Money can vanish quicker than beauty with the wrong person spending the money. We've all seen great rich people die and leave their work in the hands of thier off spring only to have their work dissolved.
Beauty too can be fleeting. A person who takes care of themselves with proper diet, exercise, and medicine (herbal or scientific) can keep their beauty. Additionally, there is the phenomona of getting paid and getting rich just because you're beautiful.
Power can vanish quicker than money or beauty. It is respect based. Some get power by scaring people ... others get power by creating loyal friends.
I guess the saying "You can't take it with you" applies to both money, power, and money.

Just some random thoughts on this subject.
Is this another way of asking: Which gender is superior?
I would say beauty is more powerful than money. IE man's sexual dependence on women exceeds women's financial dependence on men.
I would also say "with beauty comes money" in more cases than "with money comes beauty" (of the opposite sex).
Interestingly enough, countries which cover the woman's natural beauty up the most (with shawls, robes, burkas, etc) are the ones where the women have the least amount of power.
I would also guess that being an unbeautiful woman is a much much worse of a fate than being a poor man.
One final note: External beauty fades, and never really returns. While money may dwindle, it can be replenished.
Overall, this was an intriguing question. I still go for beauty over money.

I grew up in Hollywood and worked in the studios there. Beauty is power, money has power over beauty.

Money. Look at Donald Trump. Worst comb over in the history of the world, looks like a toad and he always has a "beauty" at his side...until she grows old and less beautiful. Then, he finds a younger one. Beauty cannot last.

In the end money. However you have to have intelligence and a work ethic to turn either money or beauty into power.

Beauty fades or can be altered by accidents, weight gain or just aging.
If invested properly, money can last you a lifetime.
The answer is money by a long shot.

Money, beauty fades and you get sick of looking at the same person over and over again no matter who they are.
