over-greedy

Wanting too much

Over-greedy means excessively greedy—wanting or taking more than what would already be considered greedy.

The prefix intensifies an already negative quality: The over-greedy investor lost everything by refusing to cash out.

Someone merely greedy wants too much; someone over-greedy wants too much even by greedy standards.
