Is it just me, or could the Dragonborn totally destroy the entire economy of Skyrim/take over by sheer economic influence?

If Proudspire Manor costs 25k, the Dragonborn could buy out entire holds (Winterhold being the easiest), and buy enough armour and weapons to equip an army (and hire enough mercenaries). He could buy mines all over Skyrim and dominate the flow of minerals. Hell, he could use his wealth to make Skyrim the most prosperous and wealthy place in Tamriel - never mind helping a few beggars.

The last Dragonborn (not including the Nerevarine) was Tiber Septim, and he managed to rule the entirety of Tamriel. What does the current Dragonborn do after killing Alduin and becoming the Listener and head of the Thieves Guild/College of Winterhold (with at least 100 people already, sitting around, who would immediately follow him to their deaths at his command)? Run around putting cauldrons on people's heads/using Unrelenting Force on chickens.
