I'm afraid that's no money tree. It is a schefflera though, morespecifically, schefflera arboricola. Money trees are Pachira aquatica. Only similarity is the "palmate" leaves.

Also known as the common name umbrella tree or plant. These are a tropical and can grow indoors though if you live in a zone above 9, you should be able to grow them outdoors as long as no risk of frost. I am currently trying to bend one over a piece of old grape vine trunk and not having too much luck.
