These studies/surveys were posted stating that money barely made you more attractive. They proved that money CAN make you more PHYSICALLY attractive, which is very interesting itself, albeit the difference isn't that big, but it's still there. Besides, they ONLY cover physical attractiveness, not actual female choice.
"Job status/prestige are not significant determinants of initial interest on Tinder, for both men and women". I revisited the paper and tuns out job status was about being employed or unemployed, and among the employed options there were only ‘Salesperson’, ‘Management assistant’, and ‘Supply chain consultant’, with the Supply chain consultant being the most "prestigious". So a bad study.
"It is Looks > Personality > Money for both genders". This doesn't prove money doesn't matter, just that you'll have an easier time with better looks. Plus it was done in a private university, and this study had different results regarding money preferences in women (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-dating-study-idUSN0323405520070904)

And lastly, you can offset your bad looks and height with money, according to a study done on female choice on dating websites. Quote: "if the man in the bottom ten percent in terms of looks earns more than $248,500, they will prefer him over the more attractive guy earning $60,000". Being bottom 10% facially requires $40,000 extra income per year compared to an average man or $186,000 extra compared to a top 10% man. This contrasts heavily with what was implied with the first 3 studies/surveys.

Conclusion: you can be succesful with women with money alone.
