I guess my point is that democracy isn't really a social structure, but an emergent attribute of social structures where power is distributed widely.
If one would accept this description, and I think that it's appropriate from a literal reading of democracy, then wouldn't the structure you're describing where you can only have power if you're a millionaire and you are incentivized not to use it to express the power of the many, lack the emergent attribute of being democratic?
