I have much money than you.
I have much money compared to you.

Is there a diference between the two sentences?

The first sentence should be: "I have much more money than you."

The second sentence should be: "I have a lot of money (when) compared to you."

The difference is that the first sentence directly compares your money with mine. The second sentence uses your money as a reference point to judge whether I would be considered to have a lot of money. It is a subtle difference - the essential meaning is the same in both cases.

Correction
I have more money than you.

They carry the same basic meaning.
