Although material wealth is not a mark of negativity, it's acquisition is a tool used very frequently by negatives, because it provides great opportunity for exerting power and feeling elite.
I had forgotten about this and have not yet integrated it into my notions about the Experience of the Mind. My initial reaction is that the material wealth is an opportunity for the mind to see itself as elite and deserving of power. So the Emperor, having already grasped this, adorns himself with his wealth as sign of confidence in his eliteness.
