In any given culture (or group of people), the more important something is, the more words there are to describe it. Imagine, if you will, how many words you can come up with to talk about what's seen as the most important thing in your friend group. Slang and made-up words do count towards this, too.
How many words can you come up with that indicate that one thing? How many words can you use to talk about sex? Drugs? Alcohol? Cars?
Money is one of the most prominent things in any culture that many put too much importance on, and that's why you'll get so many words to describe it.
