From the 1975 single Art For Art's Sake by 10cc (written by Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart):
Money talks so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat Oh no ....

It is, of course, metaphorical not literal. Literally, the phrase would be something like: "those people and organisations that have a lot of money are able to use that money to bring about the outcomes they desire". You can see why "money talks" is a useful, brief expression (metaphor) for this idea.
