Magnussen is a powerful man. Several ways lead to power. His favourite one: information. Blackmail, intimidation, pressure points... Most people don't assume their weaknesses, and Magnussen manipulates them like a maestro.

Casting 3.3 His last vow
Lady Elisabeth Smallwood : Lindsay Duncan - IMDB page
As an MP, Lady Smallwood leads a commission of inquiry about a possible influence of Charles Augustus Magnussen, a powerful media mogul, and the British government. Magnussen has visited 10 Downing Street seven times over the year, but refuses to give any explanation. Magnussen and Lady Smallwood are both cold-blooded, but Magnussen is unscrupulous and blackmails his opponent. Lady Smallwood will need the help of the only person who doesn't fear Magnussen: Sherlock.
Magnussen is as powerful in GB as Mycroft himself -aka he is the most powerful man, ex-aequo. Why did he choose to operate in/from Great-Britain? Because British "are a people of ruminants". Proud and contemptuous, Magnussen is a freaky villain, however, he has no blood on his hands (not directly!). He threats, hurts, gives, leads to suicide, but doesn't kill himself. But he will provoke Sherlock's hate though, after having succeeded in trapping the genius.
