I really believe they aren't as wealthy as they want to appear--their 
money gives them powerful influence but they're too boastful about 
it. They act like nouveau riche. Fudge (if memory serves, it was 
Fudge) said the Malfoys were an old family, but that doesn't 
necessarily mean they were wealthy. Also great ambition is usually 
not found in people who grow up with privilege, and Lucius is 
ambitious.

But regardless, if Lucius is sent to Azkaban, wouldn't Fudge and 
company seize his assets?
