love of money
Craving for riches
Love of money is intense desire for wealth, often implying that accumulating money has become an end in itself rather than a means to other things.
The phrase appears in the biblical warning that love of money is the root of all evil—not money itself, but the obsessive pursuit of it.
Someone with a love of money prioritizes financial gain over relationships, ethics, or contentment.
