Aquaman would likely have Multimillionaire 6 (personal assets of $2 trillion) and Independent Income 10, giving him $200 billion a month of income (>2% per year return on $150 trillion), allowing him to do things like a moonbase on a whim.
It's also misleading. Aquaman's personal wealth is a few items and perhaps a lighthouse. Aquaman can use the resources of ocean or Atlantis as the nominal (and often dethroned) ruler, but that wealth isn't exactly his and he certainly faces obstacles to using it.
