The word "profound" is typically used in the sense of knowledge. If you want to use it in the sense of wealth, it would have to be something like:

He has a profound knowledge of property, which has enabled him to acquire a great deal of it.

He has a profound knowledge of the accumulation of assets, which has enabled him to acquire great wealth.
