Greed is the best descriptive word and incredibly negative as you've said. No reason to make a more negatively charged word. The tale of Midas, and others, demonstrate how destructive and harmful greed is.

Midas has always stuck with me since I first heard the tale and in a way informed who I am today, especially my political leanings.
